Fossil Fuels and Alternative Energy Power Point and Printable Packet Bundle

This is a bundle that contains 45 slide animated power point with excellent animations that will show your classroom everything they need to become proficient with their knowledge of this standard covering Earth’s natural renewable and nonrenewable resources particularly focusing on fossil fuels and alternative energy sources. This product also contains a student note-taker for students to follow along this lesson with and answer the 8 question assessment at the end of the power point that you can take for a quick grade or use as a practice review. The power point comes in two different versions (one with an answer key at the end including on the quiz for immediate feedback and one with no answer key for you to take a grade on if you need one!)

Students will take notes on their student note-taker that goes along with the animated power point included in this product. This power point covers the three main fossil fuels: coal, oil and natural gas and briefly covers the harmful impact they may be having on our environment as the release excess greenhouse gases into our environment.

Then they will learn about all of the main types of alternative energy sources including solar energy, wind energy, hydroelectric energy, geothermal energy, biomass / biofuel, nuclear energy, wave energy, tidal energy and hydrogen energy. This is a no prep power point and student note-taker that you can use in your classroom today covering a topic that every upper elementary and middle school student should learn about as our resource reserve of fossil fuels are quickly being depleted and we are growing ever dependent on alternative energy sources.

Also included in this bundle pack is a printable packet that requires no prep on your part and includes 10 printable worksheet pages for your students to work on as an independent work packet or as enrichment for your class covering the topics of fossil fuels, greenhouse gases and alternative energy sources (heavy focus on the latter).
