Our Jigsaw Energy Project

For our Energy unit our class is doing a Jigsaw Project.

We normally sit in five different groups in our classroom and these groups will be our Media Project groups. Each of these groups will be responsible for putting together a Media project on Energy by the end of next week. In order to gather the information, each student in the group is assigned one energy form (Water-powered energy, Nuclear and Geothermal Energy, Solar Energy, Wind Energy and Fossil Fuel Energy) to research. Students then move into their research teams where they will become experts on their form of energy. Each research team has been given a computer with internet access, books and magazines that they can use for gathering information. On Friday, the research teams will then return with their information back to their Media Project groups and share all that they learned. The Media teams will then put all the information together into a slide show production that will be presented next Wednesday or Thursday.
Here are some pictures of groups hard at work.
