Agrivoltaics for Educators
The Colorado Agrivoltaic Learning Center is a resource for Colorado educators to learn more about agrivoltaics and to teach their students about clean energy, local food, and responsible land use. We help students to imagine a sustainable future and the many career opportunities agrivoltaics presents.
Empower
Growth
The CALC Education team is excited to take part in the inaugural Colorado Youth Climate Summit in Carbondale on May 2nd and 3rd! We'll be showcasing our brand-new mini agrivoltaic demonstration, giving students the chance to explore the unique microclimates beneath solar panels. We can’t wait to connect with students and be part of this inspiring event!
Field Trip Activities
CALC is committed to providing agrivoltaic lessons during visits to Jack's Solar Garden while still covering required and important content in a hands-on approach. To that end, we have designed lessons that are aligned to Colorado Science Academic Standards and Next Generation Science Standards. Below is a list of activities that can be part of a field trip:
In-School or Virtual Lessons
Our educators are available to travel to schools and provide agrivoltaic lessons if field trips aren't feasible for your school. Contact allison@coagrivoltaic.org for coordination and scheduling
-
Physical Science Chemistry Lesson (The elements in a solar panel)
-
AP Environmental Science Free Response Question (Agrivoltaic site location and benefits)​​

If you would like the teacher keys for any of the above lessons or would like to request a lesson related to different coursework, please reach out to our Education & Policy Manager, allison@coagrivoltaic.org
