Energy+Resources+Presentations


 * Energy Resources Presentation**

Although fossil fuels are by far the most common source of energy in the United States and many other parts of the world, there are numerous means through which humans obtain usable energy. Some of these energy resources are renewable, and others are not. Some are dangerous, others are relatively safe. Some are dirty and polluting, others are clean. But all of them have their advantages and disadvantages.

This is what you and a partner will research for the next few days. You will then give a presentation to the class that includes the following: · The history of the discovery and use of this energy resource · The process through which this energy resource is harvested, gathered, generated, used, and delivered to humans for consumption · The pros and cons of using this particular energy resource · A particular case study (i.e. a real event) that illustrates something about the pros and cons of using this particular energy resource · Pictures or videos (videos must be approved by Mr. Holloway) to illustrate the important points in your presentation (MUST NOT BE LONGER THAN 3 MINUTES!)
