Abstract

This initiative was the result of a grant provided by the Kansas NASA Space Grant Consortium (KSGC). Middle school teachers (grades 6-8) in western Kansas actively engaged in a workshop designed to broaden their understanding of wind energy, solar power, and the power grid, aiming to enhance their students' proficiency in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Through the incorporation of the Next Generation Science Standards Disciplinary Core Ideas related to earth and space science, along with the integration of the Standards for Mathematical Practice, and the practical applications of science education activities developed by the NASA Science Mission Directorate, educators delved into exploring the interconnectedness of Earth as a system and various weather phenomena. This comprehensive approach aimed to equip teachers with the knowledge and tools necessary to effectively instruct their students on the principles of renewable energy.
