Solar Electricity Production - Solar Power! - Everything you need is right here including the lesson (student and teacher versions), 3 embedded videos and a student lesson handout. The lesson first explains what renewable energy sources are. It then goes over the importance of the Sun, how Solar Electricity is produced, why it's important, and the future of solar technology. It ends with a video on Solar Towers and two questions which your students will answer while watching the video. These questions are a great lead-in for discussion.

Buyer Comment: "This lesson is an excellent resource for my alternative energy unit as we focus on solar and wind energy. this offered an excellent overview of solar and saved me so much time. Thanks!"

-----------------------------------

The student version of the power point contains multiple blanks that need to be filled in throughout the lesson. These blanks are conveniently underlined and bolded on the teacher copy. I have found this to be the most effective means of keeping my students engaged and active without having them write everything out. This also leaves more time for discussion and activities.
