This collection from the Center for Renewable Energy Advanced Technological Education Resource Center (CREATE) is composed of teaching materials that highlight a lesson on deep cycle batteries and charge controllers. After the lesson, students will be able to predict, measure, and explain electric potential (volts) and current (amps) in a variety of dynamic settings. Students will also understand the function of the charge controller in governing current flow in a renewable energy battery storage system. The collection is composed of five documents.

The documents include a list of material and equipment, a student lesson and response guide, a teacher answer key, and two standards documents. The list of material and equipment provides a spreadsheet with materials required for the lesson. The student lesson and response guide provides an introduction to the lesson, an activity, and an assessment. The teacher answer key provides answers for the student lesson and response guide. The standards documents explore energy literacy principles and concepts, as well as next generation high school science standards. 

For orientation purposes 508_solar-pv-battery-and-charge-controller-student-lesson---response-guide.pdf is included as a separate attachment and offers a sample of the type of the material included in this module.

Below is a list of the files contained within the .zip attachment. Files are listed with their file name and size in parenthesis.
