Science of Energy Storage – Computation

Summary

Students use a DOE-sourced data table comparing 10 energy storage technologies across cost, percent cost reduction, innovation investment, and implementation timeline, then answer 10 questions requiring data retrieval, calculation, and ranking. Skills include percent change, unit cost multiplication, and back-calculation from a formula. A good fit for a high school math-science integration activity or an APES Unit 6 quantitative practice set.
