• Resumen

  • Energy and electricity are major concerns for communities as well as being major topics in physics learning. My colleagues and I1 are adapting our energy and electricity instruction to help students connect their learning to local environmental justice issues. An important goal is to help students understand that science is implicated in ethical decision-making that affects them and their communities.2,3 In this way, we hope to better prepare students to both understand social problems as scientists4,5 and address them as citizens.6 The materials presented here are available for download from energyandequity.org.
