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 Olesya Courier.

A draft curriculum document for high school business and math teachers is presently available by request only. It will be published to the web in early October following our exhibition at the Illinois State Fair. For more information, please contact Olesya Courier.
