Energy Sources Project
PROJECT OBJECTIVE
For a year-long project, you will be adding to a Google Slides presentation about sources of energy used in Massachusetts: biomass, hydropower, natural gas, nuclear, photovoltaic (PV) solar, and wind. *You must use the template file shared by your teacher in Google Classroom.*
CITING INFORMATION
- You may not simply copy and paste information from notes, the internet, or other students. It must be put in your own words.
- You must include a list of sources you used for each slide in the speaker comments on the slide. It does not need to be in MLA or APA format, just include the name of the source and a link to it. "Google", "Yahoo Answers", etc. are not the names of any source.
- You should start with Google Slides of notes, classwork, and resources on this website. If you found a source not on this list and want to use it, let me know and we will vet it together.
