Speaker: David Wirth, Physics Teacher, Millennium High School, Goodyear, AZ
Talk Title: Powering Clean Power Generation in the Physics Classroom

Summary: Carbon emissions from electrical power plants are responsible for a large part of our anthropogenic greenhouse gasses. To promote and educate students about clean energy, David recently responded to a call by The Physics Teacher for articles related to “Climate Change and Sustainability in the Intro Physics Classes”. David wrote an article titled “Wind and Sun” which was published in September, 2023. In this article, David describes several low cost and hands-on activities he uses in his high school classroom to help students to better understand clean power generation and how to make this topic relevant and interesting. In this talk, David will expand on this article and give some additional insights, activities and student experiences. David will also discuss some strategies he uses to increase student engagement and motivation. Those who attend will walk away with several activities and projects they can use immediately. All are invited to contribute by asking questions or sharing their own thoughts and ideas on how to teach this interesting and relevant topic.
