As students are introduced to different forms of energy, both renewable and non renewable, have them dig deeper by researching one type and create an infographic! An infographic ensures that students are synthesizing and selecting only the most important information and visually representing it alongside some text. Student should include statistics on the use of their type of energy, the pros and cons, how effective the energy is, and whether or not it is renewable.

Student Instructions
Create in infographic that focuses on one type of renewable or non renewable energy.
Encourage students to share their infographics with classmates in small groups. Ask each student to give and receive feedback on clarity, accuracy, and visual appeal, helping them refine their work and learn from each other.
Develop a simple rubric outlining expectations for content, visuals, data accuracy, and creativity. Share this with students before they begin so they know what to focus on and can self-assess as they work.
Show students a few sample infographics and highlight what makes them effective. Discuss layout, use of color, concise text, and meaningful visuals to provide inspiration and clear goals.
Display completed infographics around the classroom or online. Have students walk around, view each other’s work, and leave positive comments or questions on sticky notes or a digital platform.
A renewable energy infographic activity asks students to research a specific type of energy, summarize key facts, and present them visually using infographics. This helps them synthesize information and understand the pros, cons, and statistics of various energy sources.
To guide students, assign a specific energy source (renewable or nonrenewable), have them gather data on its use, pros and cons, and whether it is renewable. Then, let them use infographic templates to combine visuals and text for a clear summary.
Students should include statistics on energy use, pros and cons, effectiveness, and whether the energy is renewable. Visuals like graphs and images help make the information clear and engaging.
You can find science infographic templates and a full infographic gallery online, often provided by educational platforms. These templates make it easier for students to organize and present their research visually.
Infographics help students distill complex information into visual summaries, making it easier to understand and remember key facts about renewable and nonrenewable energy sources.
