Independent Learning - Reneweable vs Non-Renewable Energy

by Katherine Parr,
Lead Teacher of Humanities

 

This first term of Year 8 has seen students researching and forming opinions on renewable and non-renewable energy resources. Students have actively found which form of energy is the cleanest and have decided what the future holds for Britain. This topic moves on to the local debate of fracking, getting the students to evaluate whether they want it to occur in the North-West - so close to home.

We have found that, through giving the student little restrictive instruction, they have managed to create something that is fun and exciting.
