By the end of this 2-hour session, students will be able to conceptually design a power plant utilizing syngas derived from biomass feedstock.

# data[].attributes.body
Students will:
- Understand biomass-to-syngas conversion processes
- Calculate basic energy conversion efficiencies
- Identify key components of a syngas power plant
- Evaluate environmental impacts and sustainability aspects

# data[].attributes.body
Essential Question: How can we convert biomass waste into useful electrical energy through syngas production?

# data[].attributes.body
Direct instruction on syngas composition, production methods, and characteristics. Students will use Padlet to collaboratively create a properties comparison chart.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.title
What is the role of biomass gasification in renewable energy production?

# data[].attributes.body
Interactive discussion of major components: gasifier, cleaning system, turbine, heat recovery. Students break into groups to research and present different components.

Guided practice: In small groups, students will sketch preliminary plant designs using online collaborative tools. Focus on process flow and component sizing.

# data[].attributes.body
Independent practice: Students will perform basic efficiency calculations for their designed system using provided templates.

# data[].attributes.body
Advanced students can model the economic aspects of their plant design using the provided spreadsheet template.

# data[].attributes.body
Continuous monitoring through:
- Group discussion participation
- Quality of design sketches
- Accuracy of calculations

# data[].attributes.body
Each group will present their power plant design concept in a 3-minute pitch, evaluated using a rubric focused on technical accuracy and feasibility.

# data[].attributes.body
Teams will use Padlet to post their key learnings and remaining questions about syngas power plant design.

# data[].attributes.body
Individual students complete a short survey:
1. What was the most challenging aspect of the design process?
2. How would you improve the efficiency of your plant?
3. What additional information would you need for detailed design?

# data[].attributes.body
Refine your group's power plant design based on feedback received. Submit an improved process flow diagram with efficiency calculations.
