| In Operation: Infinite Potential, students strengthen their critical-thinking and problem-solving skills with science content directly aligned to national and state standards. Working alongside leading scientists, students explore the challenges of energy generation, storage, and consumption. Through research articles, labs, field assignments, videos, online games and other multimedia, they investigate and analyze emerging technologies designed to meet the needs of an energy-hungry planet. Through their Missions, students will: - Determine whether an earthquake's energy could transform into a Tsunami
- Propose a plan to responsibly use 400 years of stored coal
- Address a large-scale power outage and work to get power restored
- Design an energy efficient module that will allow humans to live in outer space.
