It\u2019s Electrifying!<\/em> presents the problem of whether Virginia Beach, Virginia, will accept alternative energy supplies and which source of energy would be most beneficial with the least environmental impact: wave energy, tidal energy, or offshore wind farms. Students are placed in the role of engineers whose job is to select new, innovative options for energy production. However, they must consider a variety of social and environmental impacts that could affect their recommendation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Problem-Based Learning<\/strong>\u00a0(PBL) units immerse children in real-world, complex situations. While searching for a solution to the problem, students simultaneously develop a deep understanding of a variety of subjects and improve their skills in research, higher-order thinking, decision making, and more.<\/p>\n

Each unit consists of a\u00a0Teacher Manual<\/strong>\u00a0of detailed instructions on how to implement the unit and a student\u00a0Problem Log<\/strong>, in which the students find necessary materials for the unit and also where they record their work. In addition, many of the units have a\u00a0Resource Book<\/strong>\u00a0that contains primary resources and supplemental materials (such as photographs) that are also available online so that instructors can download them, print them out, and, if necessary, make copies of them to distribute to the students. The units that do not have Resource Books tend to deal with current issues and offer suggestions for websites where both instructors and students can find the supplemental information they need; these are listed in the Teacher Manual.<\/p>\n

Each Teacher Manual also describes how to conduct the project, how to develop problem-solving skills and awareness, and how to lead students into considering all sides of a situation. These are enduring life skills that children will use well beyond the completion of the unit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
