Students will hone their conceptual knowledge of energy principles, energy sources, and the engineering process to design a net-zero energy community of the future. Students will use a rubric as an evaluation tool for a group project that will require them to integrate critical steps to a net-zero energy future and information about California’s progressing energy goals through 2050.
The Energy Coalition will send you Large Graph (grid) paper to bring this lesson to life.
Lesson Objective: Students will construct an explanation and design solutions for problems around the use of Earth’s natural resources for human use through the cause and effect relationship of an energy system.
Suggested Teaching Time: 100 minutes
NGSS Standards: MS-LS2-1, MS-LS2-2, MS-LS2-3, MS-LS2-4, MS-LS2-5
