Renwable Energy Source Fact Sheet

Year 7 Sceince

You are to choose a renewable energy source and create a Fact Sheet about it.
Your task is to create a fact sheet on your chosen energy source explaining how this energy
source works.
You must include how effective the energy source is, where in the world it is implemented and
if it is a viable option for Australia to consider. You could list the advantages and
disadvantages of your chosen renewable energy source
Your Fact sheet needs to be informative and have enough information so that someone who
has no idea about their chosen energy resource would be able to understand it.
Pictures must be included. A table with statistics is highly encouraged
