It was great that the simple conversation about getting a driver’s license deepens as you read through the material. The storyline was a great way to introduce global warming and the use of electric vehicles. We even had some great discussions about the advantages of using EVs over internal fossil fuel combustion engines.

Really well-done program.  It is interesting to students and is current in its Science. 
I am looking forward to using it again next year.

The pretest / posttest measures the ideas learned in class. My class average scores increased by almost 20% after the lessons.

The concepts presented in EV WORLD are very timely, practical, and important to educate students about making better choices that will benefit and protect our environment.

The concept map assignment deepened student understanding of basic science concepts presented in the Background Sheets, and it helped solidify chemistry concepts by giving the students another way of looking at energy transfer.

EV World engaged students’ interest in EVs and built understanding of the need for renewable energy sources in our nations’ energy grid.  Plus, the students began thinking about possible careers in science.

My students were encouraged to discuss the benefits of EVs with their families during the Home Survey assignment.… It is fun that they can discuss EVs vs Fossil fueled vehicles with families and friends.

The combination of electric vehicles, climate change, and engineering in EV World is awesome – very well designed, very engaging to students.  For years I struggled to find an instructional resource to teach the topic of concept maps to my students.  The search is over.  I love the Follow the Energy Concept Map assignment in the climate change lessons.
