Powerstation information hunt

This activity is designed to encourage students to consider the way in which 9 different power stations generate electricity.
There are 9 pictures of the power stations, which I print in A4 and laminate.
There are 4 additional documents, one contains a table of the types of energy source, one a table of description of how the power stations work, one a table of advantages and the final a table of disadvantages. Each of these documents is printed in A3 on the colour named and cut into 9 cards.
For the activity I place the laminated pictures around the room and leave a complete set of 36 cards with each picture. Students are split into 9 groups one group at each picture each group has a blank answer table printed on A3. Students nominate a scribe and have 2 minutes to identify the appropriate 4 cards for the pictures they are looking at. Students need to summarise the information from each card into the relevant column on the table. The final column has no associated card but students should justify whether the type of energy source is suitable for their local town. At the end of two minutes students should move to the next picture in order, switch scribes and complete the task for the new object. The activity is finished when all 9 items have been visited.

By completing the columns of the table students are hitting various levels of skill (recalling names, describing the generation, explaining how it works, evaluating the suitability for local use).
