In the pursuit of understanding how use of energy resources affects environmental sustainability, students researched different energy sources.
They familiarised themselves with the advantages and disadvantages of their energy source, as well as some challenges and benefits of others. Then, with our panel of esteemed judges, each energy source made its case. Every round, teams could choose whether to name an advantage of their source, to advance their team, or to identify a disadvantage of another source, to pull another team backwards. After 5 rounds we had no winners, so we wrapped up by recording video responses to four questions.
Their reflections on the debate game are divided into these four videos:
Why isn’t there an obvious winner in this debate on sources of energy?
If this debate continued, would there be a winner?
Why do we use energy sources that have a negative impact on the environment?
Other than environmental, what are some factors that we consider when choosing energy sources?
