Natural Resources: Wasteful Practices

QUICK VIEW

• CW/HW: Trucks 7 Slides Presentation.

• DN: What are ways we waste fossil fuels?

• Reminders: Quiz on Wednesday.

LESSON OUTLINE

5min Students complete the Do Now.

10min Examine & Discuss Cyanotype Results (from day prior).

5min Brief History Account of CAFE rules and impact on car manufacturing.

20min Trucks 7 Slides Presentation. Students use resources to address questions following the simplified quick presentation slide style (Bad Example, Good Example 1, & Good Example 2). Each question must be answered using numbers except the first slide (title) and the last slide (which is an opinion).

The following questions need to be answered in your presentation/slideshow. Make sure to follow the rules for a presentation.

Leading Questions:
1. How have trucks changed?*
2. What are they mostly used for?*
3. How are they inefficient?*
4. How do they increase fatalities and endanger people?*
5. [Last Slide] What's your solution? (This is an opinion it doesn't need to be backed up with numbers.)

* Requires numbers.
