In this lesson, students will research nuclear energy facts and advocate for its expansion or contraction in order to meet 21st-century energy goals and slow global warming.
Inquire: Students reflect on the data in graphs showing rising global temperatures.
Investigate: Students research the benefits and risks of using nuclear fission as an energy resource and develop arguments to support or oppose the use of nuclear energy.
Inspire: Hybrid groups discuss differing views of nuclear energy and work together to collaboratively design a future nuclear energy policy.
