CLASS ACTIVITIES 

  • Take a look at the packet Codega hands out
    • Working in pairs you will create a PPT slide about a subtopic from the packet.  You need to read your section (and maybe a bit of what comes before it), talk about it and then create a PPT slide that summarizes the main ideas IN YOUR OWN WORDS.

        1. Methodologies for Waste Reduction and designing out waste
        2. Dematerialization and Product Recovery Strategies
        3. The Circular Economy
        4. Embodied Energy
        5. Distributing Energy - The Grid system and Systems for Individual energy generation
        6. Quantifications and mitigation of Carbon Emissions
        7. Batteries, Capacitors, etc. 
    • Your PPT slide must include the following:
      • The main info in your own words
      • A picture that relates to your topic
    • A max of 2 slides.
    • You have to quickly present it.
