"The program was engaging and it helped me take things into my own classroom and be a better teacher."
How does solar work for schools? Is the technology reliable? How much does it cost? Why do some schools have solar while others do not? Find the answers to these questions (and more!) in this module so you can better understand if, how, and why, solar can work for your school.
Tour the components of a roof-mounted and ground-mounted solar array through this interactive Google Slideshow.
This inquiry-based lesson is a great introduction to the solar energy dashboard. Students first analyze graphs of solar production to form conclusions about seasonal and weather patterns, and then apply their understanding to make predictions about future production.
What does a solar professional actually do? And what qualifications do you need to get a job in solar? In this lesson, you will preview a variety of solar jobs - including the pay range, job responsibilities, and required certifications - and connect pathways to career growth.
The Energy Careers Excursion curriculum pack includes activities suitable for all ages. With activities like "Energy Industry Guess Who?" and "Soft Skills Soirée", students assess which types of energy jobs match their interests and skills.
This hands-on STEM education program links practical engineering skills with global humanitarian service as students build and share We Share Solar Suitcases with schools in energy-scarce regions of the world.
This quick, no-prep game is great as a warm-up or summary activity during a lesson or unit about solar energy. Similar to the game Heads Up, the goal is for students to guess each vocabulary term based on their partner's description.
A NABCEP certification makes a solar installer's resume shine, as it serves as a powerful signal of solar PV knowledge and training.
This project leads students to learn about their schools' solar array, investigate the environmental benefits of solar, and create an infographic poster about solar at their school.
Women from across the world talk about their roles in the solar industry in this 4-minute video.
Resources for clean energy careers, such as career maps for many types of renewable energy (solar, wind, bioenergy, fuel cells, and more) are available on this website.
Educators in Virginia can borrow hands-on solar and wind equipment for free.
