This lesson introduces students to climate change and the idea that renewable energy sources are a better choice for the planet. 

Step 1 - Inquire: Students generate ideas in response to the question "What is climate change?" and watch an introductory video on climate change.

Step 2 - Investigate: Students learn about renewable energy sources through the book Energy Island and compare this community to their own.

Step 3 - Inspire: Students are challenged to follow the engineering design process and plan, design, and build their own zero emissions ferry to the island of Samsø.
