05+Fossil+Fuels

This week we will hear the story of fossil fuels, using perspectives from a broad range of sources. We will hear from North Dakota, Louisiana, Pennsylvania, as well as Nigeria. This week, we will begin to connect the four types of thinking (futures, values, systems and strategic). Students will also learn a little about energy systems. **The content for this week has been edited, so take the time to watch the newest iteration of the videos.**
 * How do Fossil Fuels affect people? **


 * Relevant standard example to share with your students:** Grade 3. ELA. RI.3 (page 14) - Describe the relationship between a series of historical events, scientific ideas or concepts, or steps in technical procedures in a text, using language that pertains to time, sequence, and cause/effect.

The in-class activity this week, //Renew-a-bead//, is an engaging and hands-on experience for students. It provides them with a clear comparison of renewable and nonrenewable energy resources. With this activity, however, comes many detailed instructions. In order to help the activity run most efficiently, as an instructor, you can make sure that you are structured and precise with your instructions – both verbal and written. Clearly state what students should have accomplished when the activity is completed. Using this classroom management strategy will help to clarify expectations and minimize additional student questions. (Wong, p.215)
