No matter the weather, March is going to be sunny here at Defeated Elementary School as we dive into Solar Spring! We're learning all about solar energy and how it can power the world around us. Hands-on experiments and competitions will keep us busy all month long! Be sure to ask your student about the power of the sun.
We're participating in School Uplift, which is a free energy management program from TVA EnergyRight and Upper Cumberland Electric Membership Corporation. School Uplift is helping our school save energy and spend less on energy costs, so we can invest in our future. In addition to learning how to use less energy, we're also learning about renewable energy. Solar power is a renewable resource and it can be a great way to lower our carbon footprint!
Students will participate in hands-on activities to learn about the power and potential of solar energy.
