Solar Master Plan
Students will utilize design tools (e.g., online drafting tools) to assess their campus capacity and need for solar energy, as well as design a solar master plan to present to their district’s energy management team. For schools that already utilize solar photovoltaic energy, students can create a master plan for another building or campus in their community.
The Energy Coalition will send you 2-Volt PV cell, 1 motor, 1 propeller, collection of construction paper, clean trash made of cardboard (i.e., milk containers, cereal or tissue boxes, etc.), and general art supplies: scissors, glue, tape, and markers to bring this lesson to life.

Don’t Forget!
Before your first Energy is Everything lesson, complete the pre-teaching survey!
After teaching each lesson (including this one!), complete the lesson reflection and feedback form.
Finally, when you have taught your last Energy is Everything lesson for the year, complete the post-teaching survey.
