High School Courses Integration for Green Energy( I )

Sustainable development is the trend for using limited resource minimum or recycle-able worldwide, including energy and water. Green energy is the provision of energy that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. Sustainable energy sources include all renewable energy sources, such as hydroelectricity, solar energy, wind energy, wave power, geothermal energy, bioenergy, and tidal power. The related knowledge and technology of green energy are present in the parts of biology, chemistry, physics, Earth science. However, this lacks an integrated course to combine all aspects of knowledge for high school students. This team project aims for “high scope program” and develops a course focusing on “green energy”. It will unite Chang Gung University, National Tsing-Hwa University, and Jianguo High School to design a new study contents, using computer science and virtual reality as tools and incorporating the concept of “Science, Technology, Society”. The team members include the chairman of Department of Biomedical Sciences, Dr. SJ Lo, the President of Jianguo High School, Wei Hung Chen, and the chairman of Education Center of Tsing-Hwa University, Dr. JT Tzeng and high school teachers of biology, chemistry earth science, and history. The new course content will include as three modules: bioenergy, solar energy, and wind power. Three new courses will be tested in a summer camp, students will come from different high schools, in the first year, then taught in Jianguo High School in the second year, other high schools in the third year.
