You've heard of energy from coal, oil, natural gas, and even from the Sun through solar energy. But did you know that we can get energy from the ocean, too?
Write a report about ocean energy and how it is harnessed. To do so, you will research tidal and wave energy. Here are some questions to guide your research:
What is the difference between tidal energy and wave energy?
How is ocean energy harnessed?
What are some advantages and disadvantages of ocean energy?
How do "tidal barrages" work?
Are you ready? Begin by visiting the Web sites listed in Step 2. Look for answers to the questions above, and write down what you learn in the note-taking boxes.
You may use search engines to research other Web sites. Or research ocean energy at the library. When you are ready, follow Steps 3 and 4 to write your report.
Step 2. Research
Research answers for the questions you were asked in Step 1. Visit these Web sites. Take notes about them on this page, too!
