Objectives #2a, 2b, and 2c Activities
1. Read Objectives #2a, 2b, and 2c above.
2. You need to make an organizer to show that you understand Objectives #2a, 2b, and 2c. What type of organizer, you ask? Well, you have a choice. You can make EITHER a concept map (using Popplet or Connected Mind (you must install this in Chrome from the app store) or a chart in a Google Doc. No matter which one you choose, you MUST have the following PER RESOURCE:
You may collaborate with ONE other person. If you choose to do the concept map, both you and your partner MUST be able to edit the concept map at the same time during class (None of this "one person sitting and another person doing all the work" stuff!). If you cannot, then each partner MUST make their own! If you choose to do the chart, then you will collaborate in ONE Google Doc. Both people need to turn in the link to their concept map or Google Doc to the correct assignment in Google Classroom when the time to work on this is up.
You have until Wednesday, 5/6 to work on this in class. It is due in Google Classroom by Thursday, 5/7, before midnight (no class time on Thursday will be given to work on it).

No matter which one you choose, you MUST have the following PER RESOURCE:
- The name of the resource
- Whether or not it is renewable or nonrenewable
- A brief description of what the resource is
- How the resource is produced (mined, drilled, etc - describe the process by which we get it and make it usable for us!)
- Where in the USA this resource is found/used most often (State, country, region, etc.)
- Description of how the resource is used for energy
- One advantage to using the resource
- One disadvantage to using the resource
- The most interesting fact you learned about the resource

Objective #2d Activity
Your job for this objective is to do two things:
How are you going to do those two things? By doing some research and summarizing it visually. Here's the details:
1. Do some research on how individuals in the United States use energy. What energy sources do individuals use per capita? How much of each of those individual energy sources do they use? Compile the data into a graph using Excel.
2. Do some research on how the United States uses energy. What energy sources do we use as a nation, and how much of each do we use on a yearly basis? Compile the data into a separate graph in Excel.
3. Do some research to find out how developing and developed countries use different sources of energy. You can search "developing vs developed" or you can choose a developed nation (the US, Canada, Britain, France, Germany, etc.) to contrast with a developing nation (China, India, etc.). Compile your data into a separate graph (or pair of graphs) in Excel.
4. Copy all of the graphs you made into a new Google Doc that you make from within your Google Drive. Below your graphs, summarize the state of individual, national, and global energy consumption in THREE awesomely crafted paragraphs. This will be your progress check for Objective #2d. It is due on Friday, 5/8, at the end of the period. No exceptions!
- Evaluate the state of individual, national, and global energy consumption.
- Summarize the state of individual, national, and global energy consumption.
