Issues and SolutionsOur actions can lead to
positive change.Issues, problems, issues! There are big and little issues and problems that concern a lot of people. Some problems and issues have obvious solutions while some issues and problems seem to have no solution.
In your Exhibition process you will get a chance to apply your skills as an action taker to some of these issues and problems. You will be choosing a real problem(either local or global) and carefully working through to a solution and take some action to help this issue or problem.
Working through this Exhibition journal will help you organize your time and resources to discover the best solution to your chosen issue or problem.
Good luck!

Why is this a problem/issue?
• You have chosen this problem for a reason.• How does it affect your life or those around you?• How does it affect your feelings or emotions?• Why do you think it is important?
Why do you feel a responsibility for this problem/issue?
Inner Journey
Our actions can lead to positive change.
Nuclear Energy.
This issue is a danger for people. If we stopped using nuclear energy it would be safer for us. If there’s a meltdown this is dangerous. Switzerland has 5 of these plants that only keep safeto earthquake strength 0.7 but there probably have bin stronger ones.
For me it is scary that there are so many nuclear power plants that could all destroy a hole continent !
REFLECTION1Our actions can lead to
positive change.You have chosen a topic. •Has it changed from your first thoughts? How and why? My topic has changed from the first thought I had because of the disaster in Japan and the nuclear power plant Fukushima. •Are you happy with this development? Yes, because we are all positive about our research•You have been put in a group. Who is in the group? Me Nik, Niklas and Lukas•Why are they in your group? Because they all chose the same topic.•Do you think the group can work co-operatively and effectively? How and why? Yes, because we are well organized. I think our collaboration is working good because we all have our own topic in our topic nuclear energy.
Developing Lines of Inquiry
You have defined your problem/issue in relation to Form, Function, Causation and
Responsibility.Look at the remaining two Concepts to clarify your lines of inquiry
Connection How is it connected to other issues/problems?
It is connected to nuclear weapons that can kill hundreds of people at once.
Perspective What are other points of view?A different point of view would be that nuclear energy is
good, efficient, inexpensive and that it is worth the waste that it makes.
Searching and Collecting
Our actions can lead to positive change.
Our Process – Searching and Collecting
People to whom we spoke:
Name:
From this person we learned
Name:
From this person we learned
Surveys we created and distributed
The group surveyed: yesNumber of people surveyed:80 students
Important conclusion we can make from the results: we found out that there are people for nuclear energy when they make it more safe.

Process Reflection
These are things I thought about our topic before BUT now I think differentlyI thought that nuclear energy was good way to win energy but now I think
that it is bad because of the dangerous waste.
The are ideas I had about our problem/issue before AND I still have nowI thought nuclear energy was dangerous and I still think so.
These are things about our problem/issue that still challenge us and we still wonder about
I don’t have any question
We would like our audience to leave our presentation with these “BIG UNDERSTANDINGS”
About nuclear energy and its good and bad side.
Synthesizing and Connecting
Our actions can lead to positive change.
Think of Solutions.ACTION!
Brainstorm a wide range of ideas that could help solve this problem/issue
Here is your chance to be creative. Write down all possible answers. Do not discard any yet because this is your chance to start thinking outside the box to find a creative solution. Be creative, unusual, fanciful, practical and obvious. S T R E T C H your imagination!
Write to the minister of Switzerland, persuade people, give flyers, rase awareness or hang posters ect.

CHOOSING ACTIONIs your action S.M.A.R.T.?
Specific xMeasureable x
Attainable xRelevant xTime-bound
Specific •is your action clear•Does everyone understand about how your action will happen?•Have you covered 5 “W”s and the “H”?Measurable•How will you know your action has worked?Attainable•Will you be successful taking this action?Relevant•Does this action actually relate to your problem?Time-bound•Will you have enough time to implement your action?

REFLECTIONActing and Sharing
It was successful

email on.It was a good
feeling to change the
world a bit and leave a
footstep.
We can make a difference
Exhibition Night - Reflection
Our actions can lead to positive change.
The Exhibition night went well for me because at the end of the presentation many people changed there mind about Nuclear energy. The audience enjoyed our presentation. Mrs.Stiebert looked at our presentation. At the beginning we were nervous but through out the presentation we weren't any more.
My final message is…That Nuclear energy right now isn't a
great source of energy mainly because of the
waste.But if we use
thorium it would be more safe,
the waste wouldn’t have to be stored as long, it wont
cost more and it will make the
same amount of energy as uranium.
