Materials Needed
- White board or poster paper with T-Chart headings Renewable and Non-
renewable
- Small post-it notes (9 per group/three students)
- List these nine types of energy on the board in mixed up order. Add
others if you wish. (coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear, solar, wind, biomass,
geothermal, hydroelectric)
Objective Introduction
Class Activity
1. Let’s review what students may already know about renewable and non-
renewable resources.
2. Give student triads 9 post-it notes. Have them copy the 9 words you
wrote on the board. You might consider giving the triads numbers or
letters to identify their group. They could put this on their post-its, and this
will help you in asking groups to justify their answers.
Student Activity
1. Ask students to come up and put their post-it under the correct title on the
T-Chart.
4. Have them make a copy of the T-Chart in their notebook and list the
energy types under the correct title. (Nuclear is considered non-
renewable.)
