Island Energy Inquiry Curriculum

The Island Energy Curriculum is designed to help teachers facilitate inquiry on energy topics for grades 5-12 of Hawaii. The curriculum relies heavily upon the use of the hands-on kits provided at the teacher workshop conducted in July 2009 for teachers of Maui, Molokai, and Lanai.

A virtual copy of the curriculum will be added to this blog soon.
