Using the Renewable Energy Experiments and Design Challenge Kit – A rigorous classroom-tested STEM Curriculum that combines Physics, Environmental Science and Engineering Design – will allow you to help your students think like engineers in their development of renewable energy solutions. This kit provides all of the resources necessary for a 4–6 week exploration of renewable technologies related to our decarbonized future, from the quantum principles behind photovoltaic cell technology to the fluid dynamics governing how hydroelectric turbine work. Each of following modules combines a conceptual theory with supplemental worksheets to enhance learning through hands-on experience. The culmination of each module will be students participating in a high-stakes design challenge (Zero-Emission Island) to develop a resilient microgrid that integrates the use of solar, wind, pumped hydroelectric, biogas and battery storage energy. In addition to individual student worksheet documents, this kit includes a comprehensive teacher implementation guide, timeline for pacing to meet state or national standards (NGSS & AP), student use rubrics, lab setup instructions that outline acceptable ranges for outcome data variation, and a complete answer key for ALL (10) worksheets included in this kit. Additionally, this kit includes multiple real-life case studies of renewable energy technologies (i.e., Hornsdale Power Reserve, Hywind Tampen Floating Wind Farm, Agrivoltaics at Jack’s Solar Garden) that provide students with practical applications of the theoretical concepts they have studied. As such, regardless of the type of renewable energy unit you teach (i.e. AP Environmental Science Course, Physics Elective or Engineering Pathway) through the depth of the 10 different renewable energy modules offered within this kit along with the flexibility within the teacher implementation guide and provided assessment tools, making this pack is perfect to help you deliver an unforgettable renewable energy experience for your students. Highlights: 10 complete modules (solar, wind, water/ocean, geothermal, biomass, storing energy, combined energy and grid, life cycle analysis, and LCOE economics) culminating with an island design challenge, Worksheets for students with practice, data analysis, and critical thinking skills, Answer key fully worked out with all qualitative explanations, Teacher's guide (nightly admin book, where applicable) with pacing, aligned to standards (NGSS HS-PS2-1, HS-PS3-3 and HS-ETS1-2) by common failure points, with tolerances in lab wiring, Visuals of energy flow paths, how turbines work, and the engineering process Target audience: Advanced Placement / International Baccalaureate (IB), Grades 9-12 and Entry Level College Environmental or Engineering Class. Reasons Schools & Parents Like It : Ready-made curriculum based on set of standards saves the teacher lots of time (many hours), so everything needed for a complete lesson (worksheets, labs, rubric) are able to be printed out, or assigned electronically. Real live examples of real live engineering solutions to energy issues for 2021 (Hornsdale battery, floating offshore wind turbines, agrivoltaics) will be shown through very useful case studies. Higher order thinking will develop as the students no longer use simply memorization, but will be able to calculate efficiencies, design systems, troubleshoot failure, and validate their choice with data. All instructor is given with teaching easiness through complete instructor support: flags common mistakes with students, lab data tolerance ranges, and answer keys for each piece of lab to help less knowledgeable (or skilled) instructors teach well. Materials can be flexible and modular - they are usable to complete a full 4 or 6 week unit or to supplement or complement an existing unit. Also will work in each of the 3 delivery formats - in-person, hybrid, or remote. Classes to Target By Grade Level: Using mathematics (cubic wind power law, LCOE, Betz efficiency, potential energy equations) as well as laboratory analyses and synthesis tasks this PDF would serve as a perfect fit for: 10–12 Grade (Primarily); 9th Grade Advanced STEM or Honors (with some exceptions); AP Environmental Science; AP Physics I or II (or both); IB Physics or Environmental Systems & Society; High School Engineering OR PLTW (Project Lead the Way); Introduction To Renewable Energy OR Sustainability Engineering In College; Homeschool High School Science Curriculum; STEM Areas In General.

90' Lesson on The Five Senses
Biology, Life Sciences, Science, Human Body, Grade 1, 2, 3, Lesson Plans, Teacher Tools, Worksheets & Printables
For first through third grades, this 90-minute course makes the five senses come to life in a way that is both instructive and genuinely enjoyable. We begin with "The Five Senses | The Dr. Binocs Show"—a video that kids genuinely like watching—and then go into activities that allow them to immediately apply what they have learned. The hands-on part is where the real magic happens. Students participate in a "Sound Hunt" to identify various sounds, become "Color Detectives" looking for particular colors across the classroom, and reach into mystery bags to make educated guesses about what's inside based only on feel and scent. There will be many "ooh!" and "what IS that?" moments. It goes beyond simply listing the five senses, though. We've included opportunities for children to relate their feelings to what they're going through. A warm blanket makes you feel secure. A song we love brings us joy. We are reminded of home by the scent of freshly made cookies. Children naturally acquire empathy and emotional awareness thanks to these small connections. The worksheet encourages children to think creatively while cooperating through matching games, sketching prompts, and reflection questions. Simply print and go—no difficult preparation is required. This scientific lesson is perfect if you're searching for one that also fosters emotional intelligence. Your pupils will exercise teamwork, hone their observational abilities, and get a greater understanding of how their senses influence each day.

You know how it is as a homeschool mom - you are constantly on the hunt for something that will actually grab your teenager's attention for more than five minutes! Well, Beyond the Jack-o'-Lantern: The Biology and Culture of Pumpkins totally surprised me. I thought it might be just another fall-themed busy work packet, but wow, was I wrong. INCLUDED IN THIS RESOURCE: A detailed, multi-paragraph reading passage exploring pumpkin biology, history, culture, and nutrition. 20 higher-order thinking questions with an accompanying answer key for guided support. Printable note-taking and graphic organizer sheets to strengthen comprehension and study skills. Teacher-friendly design with easy-to-use formatting for both classroom and homeschool environments. TOPICS COVERED: Plant biology, anatomy, and the growth cycle of pumpkins. Ecological interdependence with pollinators and sustainable agriculture. Historical and cultural significance of pumpkins across societies. Nutritional benefits and interdisciplinary applications in STEAM education. My daughter picked this up thinking she'd breeze through some pumpkin facts, and before I knew it, she was down this rabbit hole learning about plant biology, cultural traditions, and agricultural history. She did not even complain once! (Trust me, that is saying something with a 9th grader.) What I love is that she has no clue she's doing this fancy "cross-curricular" learning - she is just genuinely fascinated. And can I just say how nice it is when a resource does not require me to spend hours figuring out how to teach it? Everything flows so naturally from one topic to the next. The other day she came to me with this question about how pumpkins spread to different continents, and I am thinking, "When did my kid start caring about agricultural migration patterns?" It is these moments that remind me exactly why we chose to homeschool. Taking something as ordinary as a pumpkin sitting on our porch and turning it into this amazing learning adventure - that is the good stuff right there. Sometimes the best lessons come from the most unexpected places! If you and your students/homeschoolers enjoyed this resource, please leave a review. Thank you for your support!
