Calling all MS/HS science teachers! Join CU Boulder curriculum developer Alyse Thurber as she guides participants through the "Wind Farms of the Future" Data Puzzle, a 2-day MS/HS lesson in which students explore where new wind farms should be constructed. In this Data Puzzle, students analyze surface roughness and wind speed data to construct an evidence-based explanation for the investigative question, "Where in the United States (lands and waters) should new wind turbines be constructed to generate the most energy?" |
