Overview, from Ms. Dygve's Project
"This project allows you the opportunity to investigate the Atlantic Coast pipeline and alternative energy sources as potential energy sources for the state of Virginia. Each group will be given a role (at random): Coastal Plain, Piedmont, Blue Ridge, Valley and Ridge, and Appalachian Plateau, or Virginia Legislature member.
PRESENTERS (Coastal Plain, Piedmont, Blue Ridge, Valley and Ridge and Appalachian Plateau)
Presenters will develop a 5-7 minute presentation for the Virginia Legislature. The presentation should aim to inform Virginia Legislature members about the geology of their province, whether or not they think the Atlantic Coast Pipeline is a good option for their province and what alternative energy sources would work best in their province.
VIRGINIA LEGISLATURE MEMBERS
Virginia Legislature members will research the Atlantic Coast Pipeline, the provinces and alternative energy sources to gain a basic understanding of each. Each member of your groups will formulate 2-3 questions to ask EACH of the presenters. Questions should be specific for each of the provinces."
