The module is comprised of three parts, each focusing on a current, major source of fuel energy and its related issues. These include oiland transportation; nuclear energy, nd coal. To demonstrate some of the many aspects of the subject, dilemmas or role-playing sitUations highlight the effects and problems poied by incre&sed consumption of these fuels. Dilemmas are tbrief stories posing a critical decision to be made by a main charActei. This decisionrevolves around conflicts between two or more moral/ethical issues (as identified by Kohlberg) presented in the situation, ind it is the moral/ethical implication that provides the thrust for later _student diiCussions. Preceding each dilemma are readings/case studies 'providing backgroun:brmation'regarding issues in the dilemmas. Questions are also 'ov ed to stimulate thinking about the issues and generate discussioni. The module may be used as a separate unit- of study, as a mini-course, or incorporateci into social studies, general science, earth science, health education, or language arts f courses.
