Visiting an amusement park Think of your topic in the form of questions my Kennywood experiences Is it energy and cost effective? Are fumes emitted into the atmosphere? How much energy is used to power Leo? How can human power be measured?
State your topic as a question Are vacuums the most energy efficient method to collect trash?
