Energy Debates
Content Knowledge:
During this project we had too too chose a debate group and debate against 3 other groups from 3 other classes about energy in today's world. The 3 energy types you could argue for are nuclear energy, fossil fuels, and renewable energy. Within those 3 topics we had to prepare research for both Pro and Con. Then throughout the last month we learned a lot oabput those types of specific energy types and had 2 guest speakers come in one for wind energy and one for fossil fuels which were both very helpful. I learned so much about solar energy and how they work using photons and the electrons going through the excited state. With all of this information I know so many details that i didn't even know. The biggest takeaways I took from this process was learning about how fossil fuels at the rate were gong can be very dangerous for the sea levels and the weather changes, and how the solution can be solved by renewable energy. During this project my team and I had to make 3 canvas based on the three topic of energy and we also had to make a speakers prep document and a CER document for both the pros and cons.
Academic Skills:
During this project academically I learned a lot about how to research for information and turn them into a short speech and documents. I also learned how to use facts to fight for what you think is right with the energy debates. And I also learned how to really work well in a team and use each other as resources and how important it is that everyone does their job correctly and split up the work well. Also I learned a lot of skills in learning about energy and how much of the world depends on fossil fuels and now I have the skills to really learn about what is happening now.
Life Skills:
In this project I actually didn't earn that many life skills because a lot of it was academic but probably the biggest skills i learned that can help me in my life are. Learn to really manage your time wisely and use the time well that is given to you in class because out group was a little stressed out but luckily we got through it and ended up being one of the four winning debate groups. Also learning to really split up the work effectually and make sure everyone is doing the same amount of work and splitting up the work so everyone has less stress and become more stronger as a team because I know i'm going to be working as a team with many people all through out the future of my life and these are big skills that will help me a lot.
