Argonne National Laboratory’s
Argonne integrates world-class science, engineering, and user facilities to deliver innovative research and technologies. We create new knowledge that addresses the scientific and societal needs of our nation.
We will lead the world in providing scientific and engineering solutions to the grand challenges of our time: sustainable energy, a healthy environment, and a secure nation.
Sustainability is paramount to the work of the Laboratory. As a natural segway to educational outreach, the Sustainability Workshop for Middle School Teachers was conceived, designed and implemented. The goals of this workshop included knowledge and awareness of alternative energy technologies, their advantages and limitations; the key issues and impacts of technologies related to climate change; to extend the resources of sustainability and encourage energy literacy. The teachers were asked to synthesize their experiences and knowledge gained into a useable lesson plan. The plans presented in this unit are a compilation of those lessons.
