Energy is used in our daily lives. Energy is necessary for us to live. The way you get energy is what is important. Nuclear energy for example is a bad, but good way to get energy because it is easy to get energy using a nuclear plant and it's bad because when making energy with a nuclear plant, the plant produces nuclear waste which is very expensive to get rid of and is very bad for citizens and the environment.
 * Nuclear energy, is it good or bad?**

Click on the picture of the nuclear plants on the right to go to my video on vimeo that contains some good pictures about protesting against nuclear energy and also explains a lot about everything you need to know about nuclear energy. What I Know Inspiration document || || Include notes about your reasoning for your choices in red || =-Book-= Is Nuclear Power Safe? By John Meany This book despite it being the only book I could find on nuclear energy, was very fun. It didn't have all words so it would be boring, but put some pictures to go with the words as well to help understand the book better.
 * (P) Put brainstorm here.
 * (P) Broaden Your Knowledge
 * Think about:
 * Books
 * Encyclopedias
 * Online Articles
 * Websites
 * Images
 * Videos
 * Statistics
 * Charts
 * Data Bases



=-Wiki-= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power I learned a lot about nuclear power from this wiki. It was very helpful unlike other Wikipedia sites I have seen.

=-News-= http://www.world-nuclear-news.org/ This online news will update me on the latest news about nuclear energy.

=-Websites-= http://www.westinghousenuclear.com/Community/WhatIsNuclearEnergy.shtm This website helped me to understand how a nuclear plant works specifically.

http://library.thinkquest.org/3471/nuclear_energy.html This website gave me the most facts about nuclear energy in my research.

=-Pictures-= // This picture was chosen by me because it really represented what nuclear energy was with 1. It had the nuclear logo. 2. It looked like the logo is covered in plants which sort of shows it is not good for the environment. //

I chose this picture to show about how much damage could be done by nuclear energy.

This picture shows places all over the world where nuclear plants are. = = =-Videos-= http://www.ted.com/talks/bill_gates.html I chose this amazing video of Bill Gates the CEO of Microsoft talking about nuclear energy is because 1. Famous people have lots of influence 2. What he was talking about was exactly what I thought and researched, so I thought it was really cool.

 * (P) 2nd Time Around Brainstorm
 * (P) Define your topic: write a statement
 * (P) Form questions:
 * Form - What is it like?
 * Function - How does it work?
 * Causation - Why is it like it is?
 * Change - How is it changing?
 * Connection - How is it connected to?
 * Who, What? Where, When, Why,
 * How, What if? How? So what? ||  ||
