Clean Energy Systems

Course Description: This course exposes students to six sources of renewable energy: electric motors, solar panels, water heaters, wind turbines, biodiesel, and drip irrigation. Working with solar, thermal, chemical and mechanical sources of clean energy teaches students how to apply physics, geography, chemistry, biology, geometry, algebra and engineering fundamentals. Students learn the most efficient and appropriate use of energy production as they explore the relevant relationships among work, power and energy. Students will engage in a wide variety of hands on projects and lab activities that both test their knowledge and illustrate the interrelationships between the various forms of clean energy. This is a project based class that requires students to be self-motivated. This class will integrate Physical Science standards and will meet the Physical Science requirements. It may be taken in lieu of traditional Physical Science I/II or taken in addition to Physical Science I/II.
