March
04/12/21 Maple View Middle
Throughout March we worked on a presentation about conserving energy and the different types of energy that we harvest- nuclear, wind, water, solar, etc. We then discussed the pros and cons for each. Our presentation taught our students about the benefits of clean energy, how to conserve energy, and be thoughtful of our planet.
