Students learn about alternative energies mainly through reading about them. Students will now have the ability to experience the power of wind, solar and hydroelectric energy. They can change one energy variable and measure its effect on another. For example, students can measure the energy produced on a cloudy day versus a sunny day or using 1 solar cell versus two. We can tell students that the sun's rays can be used to used to turn a turbine but it would be more impactful to have them measure it! The Alternative Energy Project will give students an opportunity to measure the energy produced from the wind, sun, and moving water and make better decisions about their future energy consumptions.
