Today, we learned about Green Energy! As a pre-assignment, we asked everyone if they have ever seen a windmill in real life and to describe what they saw. We then discussed what green energy is versus our own definitions. At this point, the kids asked using green energy was so important to use compared to normal energy so we talked about all the pros to having green energy in the environment around them. We used this newfound knowledge to relate to a fairly famous quote: "The future is green energy, sustainability and renewable energy" After, we started exploring the sources of green energy. We learned about solar, water, wind, geothermal, and organic matter. Read more about each one in our slideshow! Near the end of our lesson, we learned a really surprising fun fact. After our lesson, we played two quizzes (attached in slideshow) about renewable energy and sustainability. With a little extra time, we could have learned more about renewable energy and hot springs through some interesting youtube videos (attached in slideshow)!
Here are the links we used:
