Energy Systems
In this engaging course, students explore various technological systems in the relevant context of sustainable and alternative energy. Students discover how alternative resources such as solar, wind, nuclear, and hydropower are used to produce energy. Students learn about hybrid vehicles and fuel sources such as hydrogen, electricity, and ethanol. Students learn how construction and design methods are used to create energy-efficient buildings and how existing homes can be retrofitted to increase their energy-efficiency. Students investigate ways to protect the resources we harvest.
Using the supplied experiment kits, students generate electricity from renewable sources, design a solar energy system based on electricity needs, and extract hydrogen from water by electrolysis.
