The SRP Powering Our Future In-Class Program is an energy education program for 4th-8th grade students. The program includes a pre-visit video, an interactive 50-55 minute classroom presentation, and a suite of post-visit lessons in the Powering Our Future curriculum. During the classroom presentation, students look closely at energy transformations and electricity generation, ride the Energy Bike to power incandescent, fluorescent, and LED light bulbs, experiment with and discuss solar power, and finish with an in-depth look at energy conservation and efficiency. The presentation and related lessons are aligned with ADE standards. The SRP Powering Our Future In-Class Program is sponsored by Salt River Project and is offered free of charge to Phoenix-area schools.

Pre-Visit Materials
The pre-visit video and accompanying student worksheet have been designed to prepare your students for the on-site presentation.
If you cannot view the adjacent YouTube video, two downloadable video versions are available below. The high resolution file is preferable, but if your download time is too slow, or your computer doesn’t play back the larger file correctly, you may choose the low resolution file (the content is exactly the same, but the quality of the visuals is slightly lower). Be patient, as the video may take some time to download.
