How Accessible is Solar Energy?
Students begin by using the Google Sunroof website to compare the cost/benefits of installing solar panels on a home's roof using different financial methods- buying, leasing and renting panels. After examining the affordability of panels, students also consider if solar panels are financially accessible to most citizens. Students are then introduced to the 'Solar Equity Gap', which claims that low income people, who could best benefit from lower energy bills, are the least likely to be able to afford them. Lastly they examine potential solutions to reduce the gap.

Engineers often create small-size models of a new product to test its design. This is especially true with airplanes. Model testing tells engineers how a design responds to different air conditions
The purpose of this lesson is to introduce and apply the concept of frequency. Students will begin by a motivating “click the mouse” challenge. This will help them to develop the concept of frequency
