karen sipe on 03 Nov 10"This lesson will encourage students to examine the trade-offs involved in our \nuse of energy, a topic they will likely revisit throughout their lives. \n\nThis lesson is built around an interactive called \nPower Up!\n in \nwhich students choose how to power a city. They will have to choose between \nvarious energy sources, taking into account the trade-offs between cost and the \nenvironmental impact of each choice. Discussions before and after the game will \nexamine the various options and what students may want to take into account when \nmaking their decisions."
