Nicole ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Extremely Satisfied

This is a great resource!!! My students were so interested in this, and were able to use some of the renewable energy ideas they learned about when working on another project in class. It also aligned well to CCSS. Looking forward to using this again. :)

This resource is designed to meet the NGSS Earth and Human Activity standard for 4th-grade NGSS 4-ESS3-1. Obtain and combine information to describe that energy and fuels are derived from natural resources and how their uses affect the environment.
