Students develop important questions about the resources used to generate electricity in Alberta. To begin, students develop the criteria for an important question. Students are then provided with images depicting the resources used to generate electricity in Alberta. After making observations about the images, students develop questions about an assigned resource. Students discover more about the resource, then use this information to refine their questions. Working in groups, they then develop three important questions about an assigned resource. The lesson concludes with the class selecting the three most important questions to ask about the resources used to generate electricity in Alberta.
