Students will learn about the United States’ energy system, the importance of energy resilience, and the transitions towards decentralized energy generation. Students will also explore microgrids' potential to power a school’s campus.
The Energy Coalition will send you energy monitors to bring this lesson to life.
Lesson Objective: Students will calculate the annual energy demand for their school campus. Using this data, students will design a microgrid to support the schools’ energy needs.
Suggested Teaching Time: 60-75 minutes but can be extended
NGSS Standards: HS-ESS3-1, HS-ESS3-2, HS-ESS3-3
