Energy for the future

 Refers to page 14 in the booklet

This activity asks pupils to choose some statements and start to make their own decisions about bioenergy. Energy production is very topical but what do pupils know about renewable energy?

To explore renewables further, you might like to visit the Renewable World website.

Pupils can also investigate green energy via the FACE Exploring sheets Green Growth 1 and Green Growth 2. Can we have economic growth and preserve the earth’s resources at the same time?
