Scope & Sequence 2
Energy Experts Grade Level: 2 | Career Pathway: Energy | Integrated STEM Application: Mechanics and Structures
Unit Overview Unit Description: In a world where every watt counts, the race is on to build smarter, greener, and more efficiently. Welcome to “Energy Experts,” where learners become energy consultants on the cutting edge of sustainable design. Tasked with creating eco-friendly structures, they’ll dive deep into the principles of energy conservation, exploring how smart design can make a huge impact on both people and the planet. As learners apply their knowledge to craft energy-efficient buildings, they’ll prepare to showcase their innovations at the Eco Architecture Expo, demonstrating how their designs can save both energy and money. The stakes are high—will your building be the blueprint for a greener future? The journey to sustainable living starts now!
Challenge: How can we design a building so that we can save energy?
