A Solar Kit for the Classroom is a free professional development workshop for formal and non-formal educators on solar energy education. Join us on Saturday, January 30 from 9:00am - 1:00pm at the DeWitt Middle School in Ithaca and become familiar with solar energy concepts. Test out the experiments and give your students the tools they need to understand solar technologies. This workshop supports NYSERDA's School Power...Naturally 15 Solar Kit lessons found at http://www.SchoolPowerNaturally.org . Lessons range in age appropriateness from 3-12 grade.
