Assessment:Use a Know Wonder Learn (KWL) chart to pre-assess what students know about power grids. Revisit the KWL chart periodically to document student learning and list further questions for inquiry. At the conclusion of the activity, consider using the attached 3-2-1 chart to assess student understanding as well as remaining questions.Standards:Next Generation Science Standards:PS3: EnergyESS3: Earth and human activityETS1: Engineering designETS2: Links among engineering, technology, science, and society
