2.6 Scotland the Great – Renewable Energy

2.6 have been learning about different forms of renewable energy used in Scotland. In pairs they were given a particular renewable energy scheme to research, finding out about –

  • location (where it is)
  • operation (how it works)
  • output (how much power/how many homes)
  • advantages (what is good about it)
  • disadvantages (what is not so good about it)

Having gathered their information, the groups each produced a Sway presentation summarising their findings. Click on the titles below to view the Sway presentations.
