7th Grade Scientists are investigating renewable energy with Mrs. Thill. They are working with the oldest form of fuel, plants. Biofuels are created by burning the biomass, or parts of the plants or trees left over after they have been cut and dried. The investigation: use your data to determine which plant would provide the most energy if burned!
