After hearing the presentation on Global Warming and it’s causes and effects, you are ready to deepen your understanding of renewable energy. Please visit the following website http://blogs.4j.lane.edu/energysources/ created by our very own librarian, Sam to select resources and then answer at least 5 of the following questions. Please type your answers in full sentences and paragraphs as a Pages document that you save to your backpack and turn in at the end of class on Thursday, June 6. You may work on it at home as much as you like. Be sure you are logged into the internet and that you log out of Edmodo two times so no one can access your account. Remember to delete your documents in Pages.
