A simple weekly rhythm (watch → read → discuss → build → reflect) and four energy arcs across the semester.
The first lesson: how sunlight becomes motion — with a "predict" prompt, discussion questions, and plain-language vocabulary.
Not a one-afternoon kit: by Week 3 your child builds and tests a real solar car, like an engineer.
Between learning and building: what a moving solar system needs, and the questions real engineers ask.
Closing the arc: children compare fair tests, record what they saw, and think like scientists.
After the solar arc, the same pattern repeats for wind (weeks 4–6), water (weeks 7–9), and energy storage (weeks 10–12) — each with its own hands-on build.
The full Clean Energy Lab is a $120 one-time purchase—equivalent to $10 per week across the complete 12-week curriculum. It includes the student book, facilitator guide, observation and reflection workbook, four hands-on experiment kits, capstone comparison sheet, and QR-linked companion videos. This is a value comparison, not a weekly subscription.
