El Education: Alternative Energy Report

This report was created by 7th and 8th grade students in Vergennes, Vermont, as part of a Learning expedition called "Reducing the Carbon Footprint." The building manager met with a team of approximately 40 students as they investigated alternative energy sources for the school. To investigate their questions, students researched an existing school which used one of the alternative energy sources. Students worked in groups and were responsible for creating pertinent questions to include in an interview of the site's building manager. They looked at the costs and benefits of each energy source and energy-saving technology. The students compiled their findings into this report.
