Renewable Energy Curriculum Materials
3 modules
• 4th-6th
• 6th-8th
• High School (solar-focused)
Written by Environmental Education Exchange with the help of over 70 local
teachers and administrators
Correlated to College and Career Readiness State Standards
NGS Standards being implemented
Wealth of activities, but also a springboard for digging deeper in renewable
energies
What are Natural resources?
What are Renewable resources?
What are Nonrenewable resources?
What resources are used to
generate electricity?
Which resources used to generate
electricity are renewable?
What is Clean Energy?
What are all the things
students/people should know
about energy?

(Motion) Energy
Movement of

Electrical Energy
Movement of
electrons
NOT AN
ELECTRON
PARADE!
Sound Energy
Movement of energy through substances in
the form of longitudinal/compression waves
Radiant Energy
Electromagnetic energy
that travels in transverse
waves
Thermal (Heat) Energy
Internal energy of a substance due
to the vibration of atoms and
molecules making up the substance
No energy
transfer is
100%
efficient.
Energy will
always
transfer
from high to
low.
Energy can not be
created nor
destroyed, only
changed.

Thermodynamics
There are 10 sections.
Think in terms of fractions or
percentages. If you color in 5 sections,
that would be 𝟏 𝟐 or 50%. If you colored in
3 sections, that would be 𝟏 𝟑 or 30%.
Try to think of all the resources
Arizona uses.
Assign a value to each.

Set the switch to “Incan” for incandescent bulbs.
Turn the generator and see if you can light all the
lights.
Now set the switch to “LED” and turn the generator
again.
