Smarter Science 100kin10 NREL Model Car Comp The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) hosts car competitions that race solar- and battery-powered model vehicles. Middle School teams from all around Colorado participate in this fun, educational, and exciting event every May. Teams work together building cars with guidance from a parent, teacher, or coach to compete in race and design categories. A "Spirit Award" is also presented to one team recognizing good sportsmanship. Building solar- and battery-powered cars requires skills in both math and science. Model Car Competitions The 2013 Model Car Competitions are complete; see the list of winners. Please check back early next year for information on the 2014 competitions. Sources for Model Car Kits and Accessories From the suppliers listed here, you can order kits containing solar cells modules and electric motors, surplus motors, and gears.

PowerSave Schools Program | Alliance to Save Energy Energy efficiency is the easiest, most cost effective way to reduce energy consumption, yet remains a challenge for many school districts. PowerSave Schools reduce consumption an average of 5-15% in one year through no-cost operations and behavior changes! Through the PowerSave Schools program students are empowered to grow as leaders, apply academic knowledge to solve the real-world challenge of increasing utility bills, and move their schools and communities toward a greener future with energy efficiency practices and measurable energy savings. Teachers and Educators, click here for access to our free resources. Energy costs are an enormous expense for U.S. schools--approximately $6 billion each year according to Energy Star-- second only to personnel costs, exceeding the costs of textbooks and supplies. What Schools get out of PowerSave Schools: dollar savings up to 10s of thousands of dollars from no-cost behavior and operations changes. Want to learn more?

Institute for Broadening Participation (IBP): Building Partnerships to Support Diversity in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) PBS-Wind Power Lesson Plan This lesson is designed for physical science, earth science, or environmental science classrooms, grades 9-12. Middle school science teachers may also find this lesson helpful. Lesson Objectives By the end of this lesson, students will be able to: Explain the use of wind power as a renewable resource. Physical Sciences Standard 9: Understands the sources and properties of energy Standard 10: Understands forces and motion Level IV, Benchmark 1 Knows that magnetic forces are very closely related to electric forces and can be thought of as different aspects of a single electromagnetic force (moving electric charges produce magnetic forces and moving magnets produce electric forces); the interplay of these forces is the basis for electric motors, generators, radio, television, and many other modern technologies Nature of Science Standard 12: Understands the nature of scientific inquiry Standard 13: Understands the scientific enterprise Estimated Time to Complete Lesson Materials Needed 1.
