Solar energy concepts can be taught in many ways. Although the basic principles for using the sun’s energy are fairly simple, the applications of these principles are constantly evolving. This guide presents engaging new solar curricula that have evolved based on the experiences of teachers in their classrooms. "Teaching Solar" details step-by-step the Solar Schoolhouse approach of teaching solar based on experimentation. Nothing gets students, and teachers, more excited than to actually experiment with solar technology by powering electrical loads or cooking with sunlight. In our professional development trainings we find that the workshops truly burst into life when teachers get their hands on the solar equipment.
