The Smart Grid for Schools program includes six different components, four of which presently have curriculum available. The curricula below are designed to address grade-level standards and teach how electricity, the electrical grid, and grid-related technologies operate.
The content and questions for both grade bands are nearly the same, but reading levels change from a 5th grade level (4-8) to a 7th grade level (8-12).
K-12 curriculum is currently being developed to utilize the robust context of the Solar Farm to address educational standards, especially in earth science and geometry. To obtain a draft and discuss pilot testing opportunities, please contact Dr. Brad Christensen at bachris@ilstu.edu.
