Help your students build real understanding of energy sources by tradeoffs through ninety questions that move from basic recognition to genuine reasoning about how the Earth works.
Sample questions include "Which energy source has a low environmental impact in terms of land use?", "Which energy source has the least direct carbon emissions during operation?", and "How does the use of biofuels impact food prices?"
All three worksheets cover the same topic in different question styles. That means you can use one as a pretest, another for practice or homework, and the third as a follow up quiz, without students ever seeing the same question twice.
This set is part of a standards aligned earth science unit. The unit also covers Global Resource Use Benefits, Evidence for Resource Impact, Renewal Rates, Economic Factors in Resource, Decision Making with Multiple, and Environmental Effects, all in the same three worksheet format, so your classroom routine stays familiar while the topic changes.
Suitable for Grade 9-12 earth science classes, and for review at any point in the school year. This set is aligned to Virginia SOL standard ES.6d.
