An Overview of Solar Radiation
Learners use the Stefan-Boltzmann Law and the Wien displacement law to determine the amount of energy the sun emits.
Curated OER
Sleep and Energy
Students discuss the importance of getting a good night's sleep. They make connections between sleep, energy, and having a good day at school. They make a sleepiness chart which shows how they feel each day for a week.
Curated OER
Energy Sources
High schoolers identify natural resources and describe the difference between renewable and non-renewable resources. They also identify the disadvantages and advantages of the resources.
Curated OER
Biomass: The Energy of the Future
Sixth graders examine information about a variety of renewable fuels. They read key vocabulary terms, read and discuss a story handout, and conduct research on renewable fuels. Students then complete a comparison chart, and write an...
