  1. Energy Paideia

  2. Which of the following are efficient sources of energy? Why or why not?

  3. How many types of energy can you think of? • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHXXa6PgMAA

  4. Paideia essential questions: • What are the important facts about different types of energy? • What types of energy are the most efficient?

  5. Model: Nuclear Power • Important statements from the text: • Nuclear power uses fission to produce energy. (I chose this as most people do not know how nuclear power is produced). • 6% of the worlds energy is produced using nuclear power. (I chose this because it shows the impact nuclear power has on the world). • http://www.eia.gov/kids/energy.cfm?page=nuclear_home-basics

  6. Summary sentences… • “Nuclear reactors are large machines that contain and control nuclear reactions, while releasing heat at a controlled rate. A nuclear power plant uses heat supplied by the nuclear reactor to turn water into steam, which drives the turbine generators that generate electricity.” EIA Energy Kids- Uranium • Nuclear reactors are used in nuclear power plants to generate steam which is used to produce electricity. (trade and revise) • Make sure to identify key vocabulary.

  7. Goals • To understand about several different types of energy. • To understand how different types are produced and used. • To understand which types are the most efficient.

  8. Choose one of the articles from your packet… • Read it quickly and silently. • As you read… • Fill out your graphic organizer with statements that you feel are important. • After each statement, write why you choose that particular statement. (Why is it important). • Include important vocabulary or keyterms.

  9. While re-reading the articles for meaning…. • Take your index card: • Compose 2 summary sentences that “summarize” the article.

  10. Find a different group (different topic)… • Trade index cards • Read the index card that you now have. • On the opposite side write: Revision • Revise that summary statement • When completed, switch back.

  11. Rules for Paideia • I will ask questions in a round robin style. • Only give constructive advise. • Do not make fun of anyone’s answers or opinions. • Focus on the activity. You will need to reflect on the information at a later time. • Do not give the names of the person’s card that you are reading.
