ENERGY FOR THE FUTURE: RENEWABLE SOURCES OF ENERGY

IMPACTSJOURNALÃ BIOGEOCIENCIASÃ

THE PRESENT WORK IS A PRODUCT AS A RESULT OF A INTERDISCIPLINARY PROGRAM “ENERGIES”

evolved in the first level of the Secondary Obrigatory Education according the new law LOE (Organic Law of Education, 2005).

ABSTRACT

This work is the object of the interdiciplinary program coordinated and evolved by two teachers of Institute of Secondary Education of Sar in Santiago of Compostela, Carmela Quintanilla Louzao and Eduardo Rey Rodríguez, for working with the students of the first course od the Secondary Obrigatory Education. The activities made in the class room have begun with a visit to the eolic park of Sotavento, a centre for the investigation in the renewable energies located between the conseis of Xermade (province of Lugo) and Monfero (province of Coruña).

The following articles are recopilated and translated to english by the teacher Eduardo Rey Rodríguez for helping to the students in his work about these themes. Some of the articles are selected from the website www.biogeociencias.com.

In a separate entry in the web of www.impactsjournal.com we will put several articles related with the problem of increasing less of biodiversity in the world, generally because problems originated in the research and the use of energies and other resources.
