Agrivoltaics is an exciting method of land use in which the same land is used for both growing food and producing solar energy. Agrivoltaics has the potential to mitigate some of the challenges with current food production, including water availability and energy needs, while increasing crop yields. In this session, you will become familiar with agrivoltiacs and learn ways to explore this science with your students through hands-on investigations. Students’ experiential learning with agrivoltaics kits provides a rich opportunity for teaching across the curriculum and for tapping into diverse funds of knowledge. You will leave with ideas for three-dimensional learning activities that are standards-aligned and adaptable for grades 6-12.
