Lesson 5

This week's assignment is again very timely for me to use in my classroom.  At the Gale Virtual Reference Library, when I chose "Title List", the first book on the list was "Alternative Energy".  This week my physical science class will be doing research on the various ways electricity is generated.  A quick look in this three volume title showed that this will be another great reference to point my students toward when they are doing their research.

I searched for Hydroelectric Power Plants in the search box.  I received 188 results.  Of those results not all of them were directly about hydroelectric power - some were about other forms of alternative energy.  One of the results was an entry about Generators from the Gayle Encylopedia of Science.  It was a very good article and I especially liked the Key Terms at the end of the article.
