Energy & The EnvironmentEnergy & The Environment

All 6th Grade students take this class as part of the Fine Arts Rotation for nine weeks.

Students are challenged to think big and toward the future as they explore sustainable solutions to our energy needs and investigate the impact of energy on our lives and the world.

They design and model alternative energy sources and evaluate options for reducing energy consumption.  All projects are performed in a team environment.  They learn the Design Process as a real engineer does and apply it to the projects they are assigned to.  

One of the projects that 6th Grade students complete is to design blades for a small wind turbine.  Students then compete to see which design can lift the most weights.
