Energy Lobbyists

In science classes at PLHS the 9th graders are currently studying energy. The students were given an assignment to present an energy source to legislators and potential investors. Teachers and staff were invited into the classroom and given $500,000 in play money to support one or more of the energy lobbyist groups. The students were evaluated on their knowledge, presentation, visual aids and professionalism. Below are some of the students with their energy source displays.











A few groups used props and visual aids. Below you can see wind power in action. Some groups even tried sweet persuasion tactics by offering cookies while making the case for their energy source.







This group appropriately provided windmill cookies.
