Welcome to a world where learning about renewable energy is not just informative but also incredibly fun! As an educator, I’ve discovered the power of introducing students to the concepts of renewable sources like solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal energy. It’s all about preparing them for a sustainable future, and what better way to do it than through engaging classroom activities and interactive quiz review games? Let’s dive into some of the best ways to bring these ideas to life for your students.

Renewable Energy
In an era where we’re all becoming increasingly conscious of our carbon footprint and the pressing need for sustainable energy, solar power stands as a beacon of hope. You’ve probably noticed solar panels gracing rooftops, sprawling across farmlands, and even dotting sun-soaked deserts. They are all in a bid to capture the sun’s abundant energy and convert it into electricity. And with solar panel calculators, you can’t go wrong with the number of panels you require for your energy needs.
Yet, while solar power is brilliant, it has one little…
Many researchers have seen the potential of hydrogen fuel as the key component to achieving a carbon-neutral future. At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Spring Symposium 2022, industry experts defined efforts to produce hydrogen power on a large scale.
For the past few decades, industry experts and the government have seen hydrogen as a potential tool in the journey to a carbon-neutral …
Natel Energy is in the process of setting up hydropower turbines with turbines that are fish-safe and comes with other features replicating the natural conditions of rivers.
Natel Energy was founded by Abe Schneider and Gia Schneider who were both alumni of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Growing up in a rural area of Texas, Abe and Gia always had something to do on their farm. However, on Saturdays at 2 in the afternoon, their family would always go to their local creek to fish, play on rope swings, and …
A Newly-Developed Method Improves the Output of Wind Energy Farms Without Any New Equipment
2 min read
Engineers can help boost power output among existing wind power plants by modeling the current conditions of the entire farm instead of the individual wind turbines.
Generally, wind turbines are controlled individually as stand-alone units. The wind power industry produces over 5 percent of worldwide electricity. Large wind farms come with dozens to hundreds of wind turbines.
