  Energy Industry Joins Solar Oregon to Meet the Need for Science Education in the Classroom

By Morgan Mulkey, Solar Oregon Curriculum Specialist 

 

The K-12 Renewable Energy Education Program is in full swing with ten classrooms already served and another forty scheduled for the remainder of the school year. The program supports teachers in providing meaningful, hands-on science education while exposing students to possible careers in the renewable energy fields. The curriculum explores the trade-offs of renewable and non-renewable energy sources, how electricity is produced and used, and wind and solar technology. Students use inquiry and engineering design principles to solve current, real-world energy problems. The program helps teachers meet Oregon State Science Standards and provide lab-based science lessons that otherwise might not be possible because of class size, lack of supplies or teacher knowledge.
