Abstract
This AVD High Impact Fellows Program Team Project developed high school level learning modules on renewable energy. The learning modules focus on the collection, analysis and graphing of real-world data and the making of assessments and projections of the use of renewable energy at the school location. The project focuses primarily on solar energy but all other major alternative energy sources are also briefly addressed. The modules focus on solar energy because it is the only feasible alternative energy source for the region. The ultimate goal of the project is to produce a presentation for the school principal making recommendations for implementation and energy return on investment.
The final form of the instructional material is a lesson plan for a full curriculum unit in an AP Environmental Science. The materials focus on fostering inquiry and technological integration.
