Like the other volumes in the series, this book is designed to meet the growing need to infuse real-world learning into K-12 classrooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis interdisciplinary, four-lesson module uses project- and problem-based learning to help students connect their existing knowledge about energy production and its effects on the natural environment to create innovations in renewable sources of energy based on research evidence. Working in teams, students will design an innovative way to meet society's energy needs and develop a pitch to market their innovation, focusing on how the innovation will optimize human experiences while being mindful of the natural environment. To support this goal, students will do the following: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Understand several forms of renewable, sustainable energy sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Apply their understanding of how alternators are used to generate electricity in lab experiments, as well as explain how tools such as windmills and dams are used to operate them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Describe how electricity is generated in photovoltaic cells.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Calculate the amount of electricity consumed by several household items and consider this consumption when determining the average monthly energy consumption of households around the world in comparison to U.S. households.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Understand how fossil fuels have been used in the production of electricity and the impact they have had on the world's economy, humans' quality of life, and the earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Identify several hindrances to the creation of new energy sources as well as ideas to counter them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- List several factors that can be used to motivate people from all walks of life to use renewable and sustainable energies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Create a fictional company that uses renewable energies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eSTEM Road Map Curriculum Series \u003c\/i\u003eis anchored in the Next Generation Science Standards, the Common Core State Standards, and the Framework for 21st Century Learning.
