Congratulations!  Your test scores impressed Mrs. Dondero.  You've convinced her that you are up to the job (and that's not easy to do).  Now the real work begins...
To help your team record each member's research, you'll need to click on the clipboard and print six copies of the Energy Source Fact Sheet.  You'll use this fact sheet to organize your thoughts, and, later, to create your energy plan.

	If you need help with any unfamiliar words, click on the picture of the dictionary to access Word Central, Merriam-Webster's online dictionary for kids.  Be sure to jot down a brief definition for each word you look up to share with your group later.
Begin your research by selecting your area of expertise, and clicking on the image below that corresponds to the energy source you've chosen. When you've completed your research, click on the light bulb at the bottom of the page to begin developing your energy plan.
