Choosing the Best Energy Source

Students read eight scenarios and determine which energy source would be the best choice for each situation. They analyze factors such as geography, climate, cost, availability, and environmental impact. This activity develops decision-making skills and encourages students to consider how different energy resources meet different needs. It also reinforces understanding of renewable and nonrenewable energy sources through application in real-world contexts.
