Students have misconceptions and concerns about future energy sources. This session explores techniques and information available via The Harnessed Atom curriculum where energy options are discussed in a non-biased manner. Experiments, interactive games, and class discussions at the middle school level will be highlighted to show how student misconceptions are debunked.
