Lesson Summary

They then look at sustainable energy and work in groups to investigate different types of renewable energy and energy efficiency practices (year 8).
Students create a presentation to share with the class. They then create a scientific poster to explain which type of renewable energy or which energy efficiency practices (year 8) would be best suited to their area.
