Teacher or professor: SciShow
Subject: Science
Content of the Lesson: Go to http://Brilliant.org/SciShow to try their Solar Energy course. Sign up now and get 20% off an annual Premium subscription. Humans have an almost insatiable energy demand, so scientists and engineers are always on the lookout for sustainable ways to provide the energy we need. And some of these ideas go way beyond solar panels and wind turbines! Hosted by: Hank Green SciShow has a spinoff podcast! It's called SciShow Tangents.
