Net-Zero Energy Future
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.

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.
