Energy Viewpoints


We have spent almost two weeks learning about energy resources in class.  Using your background knowledge of these resources please write a comment answering the following question.
Imagine you live in an area that has access to all eight types of energy studied in class.  If you were in charge of choosing the energy resource used by a city in the area, which energy resource would you select?  Please explain why.  In your explanation of why, include two specific pieces of evidence to support your selection and one specific piece of evidence that is an admission of a negative for this type of energy.

Adaptation...A way of life...

After gaining background knowledge of adaptations, squid, and the squid’s many adaptations, our class dissected squid last week.  Based on your knowledge, which adaptation do you believe is the most important for the squid?

Your response will be graded using the following criteria:
  1. Mechanics: Your comment should be written in complete sentences with very few spelling, punctuation, or capitalization errors.
  2. Audience: Your writing is clear and explains ideas so readers outside of our classroom understand them.
  3. Content: The content is accurate and shows the writer understands the science concepts presented.
