About this worksheet
A Real Resource-Management Story from the News
On Colombia's La Plata islands, families once had power just four hours a night from costly diesel. A 2025 solar mini grid changed that for nearly 300 families - with cleaner air, too. Students read the real story and work through four activities that make TEKS 6.11A come alive.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
- A one-page nonfiction news story written for Grade 6
- Four activities: multiple choice, a fill-in chain, cause & effect matching, and a short written response
- A source box with links to the original reporting
- A separate teacher answer-key page with a sample response
HOW IT HELPS YOU TEACH
- Anchors an abstract standard in a concrete, current real-world example
- Connects energy poverty and air pollution to a single smart resource choice
- Great for a Friday news day, sub plan, or nonfiction reading block
