Topic 3 – Energy
Criteria D: Energy Sources in Korea
Reflecting on the Impacts of Science
Energy Sources in Korea
Introduction
In the following five (5) minute presentation using a poster / presentation,
you will be asked to (1) explain one energy source used to produce electricity
in Korea, (2) discuss and analyze the implications of using that energy source,
(3) apply scientific language correctly, and (4) document the work of others
using MLA formatting.
You will be expected to discuss how science interacts with one of the
following factors: moral, ethical, social, economic, political, cultural, or
environmental with a focus on the topic’s global context: Globalization and
Sustainability.
This assignment is due during class on Monday, 9 November
This zero date will be during class on Friday, 13 November
Assignments must be submitted to Schoology as PDF to earn credit.
