Nuclear Power Plant Project

Test grade - Due Oct 12th

This link is to a useful diagram. You could print and work on drawing the diagram later if you needed.

Part two is practicing terms until you can make a good grade on the quizlet test. Your test should have 15 written questions like this one.

Part 3 is a summary and response to an article about nuclear power. My favorite source for science news that is easy to read (about a page and high school reading level) is Science Daily. This link is the nuclear energy news page.
Your article summary and response should each be a paragraph. Please do not write 2 pages. Write a thoughtful paragraph with a main idea. It is okay if my response to the article is different than yours. It should be personal and it is okay to mention emotions as well as intellectual response.

Your handout mentions a graphic organizer option (thinking maps, mind map, charts or whatever works for your article) and you may complete that but make sure it is eye-catching.

The handout also includes a grading rubric you should check out.
