- W2992521330 abstract "When students, teachers, the general public, and even agriculturalists are asked to name components of the agriculture industry, they rarely identify energy as a prominent aspect. Livestock, crops, and mechanics come to mind most readily. Agricultural issues often focus on these components as well, with genetically modified organisms, pesticide usage, and GPS farming being some of the more prominently debated developments. But within the broad realms of environmental stewardship and management of natural resources, both very crucial components to every agricultural industry, is energy management. Energy can be a costly aspect of an agricultural business, both monetarily and to the business' public image. As energy costs continue to rise, electricity bills can cut deeply into the profits of poultry producers, greenhouse growers, dairy producers, and the like. Electricity usage's contribution to environmental degradation via fracking and global warming suggests that reducing dependence on fossil fuels is viewed positively by consumers. Students entering agricultural careers should graduate understanding not just how electricity works, but also how it can be best managed for a business' success.A less-widely-debated but evermore-prevalent issue in agriculture is the use of renewable energy. The most common renewable energy technologies focus on harvesting from solar, wind, and water sources. As students learn about electricity, you can enhance their understanding of STEM principles, instill in them a value for energy sustainability, and better prepare them for careers in any agricultural industry by including in their learning experiences renewable energy components.Teaching students about renewable energy is easier said than done for most agriculture teachers; very few have learned about renewables in their own teacher education programs, and with little time for personal education, expecting a teacher to educate students about solar energy installations is a bit unrealistic. Fortunately, there exists numerous resources designed to assist you in providing meaningful renewable energy learning experiences to your students. Who knows, you may even learn enough to consider installing renewable energy technology at your own home! This article is designed to give you a bare-bones crash course in renewable energy and share with you a list of the resources you can use to teach your students about renewable energy. Most are freely available, some only require a computer and Internet connection, but all are designed to help you incorporate STEM via renewable energy in your classroom with minimal preparation!Renewable Energy - The BasicsTo renewable energy experts, whom you are likely to ask for additional resources and information, there are some basic pieces of information that indicate whether you have any understanding of renewable energy. To put this in, for example, equine science terms, you can spot a rookie a mile away if they try to mount a horse from the right side. Here are some basic tips to get you past the point of Energy Rookie:1. Renewable energy is just that, renewable. It is not alternative energy, which suggests that it shouldn't be the norm. Renewable energy experts feel that it should be, and potentially will be, mainstream in the near future.2. Solar energy is the most feasible renewable energy technology in the US. It's not the most efficient (that would be micro-hydro), but it is the most readily available in all locations and the one with technology appropriate for most locations.3. When you refer to a solar panel, you're probably talking about a module. A solar module is made up of small cells that convert solar energy into DC electricity. This process is called the photovoltaic effect, and so solar energy technologies are frequently called photovoltaics. Numerous modules wired together are called an array.4. As mentioned earlier, microhydro (that is, using a turbine to produce electricity via running water in a stream or river) is the most effective method of renewable energy production. …" @default.
