OS:Elementary School Projects
From PESWiki
This index will provide a listing of elementary school projects focusing on alternative energy.
Let's get K-12 involved in wind, solar, and other alternative energy technology projects, using technologies that are easy enough and robust enough for them to have a success experience and get them hooked on the idea of free energy from nanatural, non-diminishing sources.
- "We need to lessen our diet for oil... Look at where we are, what will it look like in 10 or 20 years??? We have the brains, resources; but do we as a country have the will?? I've always said, the will will come when gasoline is $5.00 / gal... I am more and more convienced that we need to start with elementary kids, tie the concepts to the state ed standards in sci math and technology and stay with it." -- Paul O'Brien, educator in Western MA, USA.
