• geothermal energy
• hydroelectricity
• tidal energy

Research your chosen energy sources and create a poster explaining what they are, and the advantages and disadvantages of their usage. You can present your information in any format you choose - using pencil and paper, computer for a poster or a PowerPoint presentation.
