When Aaron Sebens started talking about renewable energy with his fourth grade class, they kept coming back to their excitement about solar power and making it a more hands-on learning experience. How might they move away from fossil fuels and make their own clean energy?

Thanks to their ambitious teacher, help from parents, and a Kickstarter campaign that was funded seven times over, the students were able to make their Durham, North Carolina classroom completely solar powered. From their 2013 Kickstarter:

Did you know that every minute enough photons come down to earth from the sun to power our world for a year? And have you ever wanted to save money, electricity and have less pollution? Well, that is our goal. We believe in the sun and would like to fundraise to get enough money to buy solar panels for our classroom so we do not have to use any electricity from the power plant. We have been doing research on how much electricity we use to power our classroom so we know how many solar panels we need, and how much money it will cost. We will figure out how how to design and build a solar array, and with help we can make our classroom off the grid. We're really excited about teaching others in our school and community about the power of solar energy.

Inspiring! Read more about their project at Kickstarter and Energy.gov.

Could you power your house with the energy that's created from pedaling a bicycle? First, let's find out how much energy a house uses and how much energy one bicycling person can store in a battery.

Skunk Bear's Adam Cole visits astrophysics professor and NPR blogger Adam Frank in Rochester, New York, former bicycle capital of America, to assess the situation. NPR has more:

"...the discovery of fossil fuels did something amazing. If we look at our house example, we see that the energy running into our homes from some distant power stations is the equivalent to having about 40 people pedaling bicycles for us. Those little sockets in the wall that we plug our stuff into give us the power of 40 servants. (If I included the electrical inefficiencies, that number goes up to about 50 servants.)

We are all, literally, living like kings.

But, as we know, using that much energy has consequences for the planet in the form of climate change. The trick now is to figure how to keep a reasonable level of power available to everyone by using energy sources that have less planetary blowback."

Possible solutions: Fourth graders create a solar powered classroom, and Moving Windmills: The William Kamkwamba story.

Farms around the world are embracing sustainable practices and circular economy models that can help fuel and fund their farming as a part of the business. In this Flipside Science video from the California Academy of Sciences, Spurgeon and Darrah visit California's Straus Family Creamery. The farm's methane digesting technology turns cow poop into electricity that fuels the entire farm and their electric vehicle. Excess energy is returned to the grid for use by their neighbors:

Twice a day, the barns are flushed clean with recycled water, including water that has been recycled from the creamery. Manure from the barn is also scraped by tractor into a holding pond. From there, it goes through a separator, which separates solids from liquids. The solids are composted and the liquids are piped into a second pond that is covered with an enormous tarp. Under the tarp, the liquid manure is transformed by bacteria, through the process of anaerobic digestion. The result of this sustainable practice is renewable energy in the form of methane gas, carbon dioxide and a small amount of hydrogen sulfite.

The tarp that covers the pond captures the gas. It is then pumped to a combustion engine where it fuels a generator and creates electricity. The heat created in the process is used to heat water for the dairy. This 180-degree Fahrenheit water is used to clean barns.

When methane emissions are used, they aren't released into the atmosphere where they contribute to our changing climate. Learn more at CalAcademy, at Straus, and at PBS Learning Media.

We've watched this video quite a few times in the last few weeks... it's surfaced as a kiddo-favorite. Not only is it a beautiful animation (by Toronto-based Smart Bubble Society, "a not-for-profit motion graphic studio that promotes social justice, self-education and critical awareness"), but the piece tells the story of our recent history with fossil fuels, and then names some cleaner solutions (wind and solar energy, for example) to the challenges that we face on the energy and climate change fronts.

Want more solutions to reducing oil consumption? There are some here and here - many that kids can help with.

How can the physics and engineering of wind and water change a country? From the world of European travel guides, here's a quick primer: The Netherlands: Working Windmills.

300 years ago, half of what we know as The Netherlands was under water. Slowly, the former seabed was reclaimed and the Dutch went to work drying the ground with the country's leading natural resource - the wind. Over 1000 windmills, some still functioning, survive in the Netherlands today, reminding locals and tourists alike of the clever engine that powered the creation of this land.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
In April of 2010, a BP Deepwater Oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico exploded, killing eleven workers and unleashing an unprecedented amount of sticky black crude into the gulf waters, beaches, wetlands, and surrounding ecosystems. Before we were able to successfully cap the ruptured deep water well, it flowed unchecked for 87 days at a rate of approximately 53,000 barrels per day, making it the nation's worst offshore environmental catastrophe in history.

As with all failures, we have the opportunity to learn. Scientists, engineers, local communities, policy makers, industry leaders, and people far and wide are asking questions: How badly did the spill damage the gulf? How big was it? How did it happen? Were our solutions good or bad ideas? How has impacted wildlife? What can we do to fix the damage? And how can we keep it from happening again?

In this Natural Resources Defense Council time lapse video, NRDC science scribe Perrin Ireland paints some of the questions that scientists want to better understand about the Deepwater Horizon oil spill's impact, starting with this one: Where did the oil go?

Watch this next: Is this oil really flowing backwards? Plus all kinds of problem solving including one of our favorite videos: " I will be a hummingbird."
