Last week in Biology we began discussing energy and how that relates to Photosynthesis.  There were many questions across the board about how we harness the energy for electricity.  I assigned the students to investigate the major forms of energy and create mini-projects to share with their classmates.  They had to pick a form of energy; hydroelectric, solar, wind, fossil fuels, or biofuels.  After selecting a topic they had to say how it works, benefits and drawbacks.  They shared their findings and discussed how we can help our current situation.  It was a chance to open the class for discussion about current issues.
