Solar PV Silicon

This collection from the Center for Renewable Energy Advanced Technological Education Resource Center (CREATE) is composed of teaching materials that highlight a lesson on the use of silicon in solar photovoltaic panels. The collection is composed of four documents.

Documents include an instructor's guide and answer key, a student lesson and response guide, and two standards documents. The instructor's guide and answer key provides learning goals, information on required technology, an activity, and an assessment with answers. The student lesson and response guide contains the activity and assessment. The standards documents explore energy literacy principles and concepts, as well as next generation high school science standards. 

For orientation purposes 508_Solar PV Silicon 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.
