Energy Source Model
5 05 2008All of the energy sources we are studying can be used to produce electricity but each source uses processes that are unique. In this section of the project we will be creating 3-D models to demonstrate ideas and concepts that are integral to the energy sources.
3-D Model Requirements:
- Each group will complete at least one model
- Model must demonstrate a concept that is unique to your energy source
- Model must be accurate and informative
- Model must include a detailed written explanation
- Model must help others to understand your energy source
- The process and final product will be documented through photos and video
3-D Model Steps:
1. Get together as your energy source group. Be sure to bring your answer to the 5/5 warm-up.
Think about the energy source you are studying, what is the idea/concept that is most important and that makes your energy source different from the others? Explain.
2. Decide what concept you will demonstrate and brainstorm/research ideas about how to demonstrate your concept.
3. Complete the 3-D Model Proposal: 3-D Model Proposal
Use the 3-D Model Proposal Exemplar to help: 3-D Model Proposal Exemplar
4. Check 3-D Model Proposal with Mr. Sames
5. Collect materials and begin building
Be sure to document the process (still camera or video camera)
6. Write a paragraph describing what your groups model is showing.
7. Create an iMovie of your model with explanation.
Grading:
Everyone will receive an individual grade based on the following:
- A reflection on the model building process with explanation of your role in completing the model
- The model itself
- The completed iMovie
