Science of the Electric Grid – Exit Ticket
Summary
A single-prompt exit ticket asking students to identify one barrier to main grid access, explain how a solar, wind, or hydropower microgrid could address it, and name one limitation of microgrids. Takes two to three minutes to complete and works as a quick formative check at the end of any electric grid or microgrids lesson. Fits APES, high school Earth science, or middle school energy units.
In one or two sentences, give one reason why some countries or regions find it challenging to connect people to the main electric grid.
Then, describe how a microgrid using solar, wind, or hydropower could help overcome this challenge, and mention one possible limitation of using microgrids.
