Each stop delivers age-appropriate instruction on each topic. Students are rewarded for completing knowledge assessments, and immediate feedback reinforces learning objectives.
For the grades 3-5 and grades 6-8 modules, students choose a vehicle to navigate an interactive roadmap for their online journey to learn about ethanol, earning badges along the way. The eLearning journey begins with a quick stop at a fuel pump to fill the vehicle with ethanol-blended gasoline. Students then learn the science of producing ethanol from plants. Stop 2 includes a lesson on the environmental benefits of using ethanol. A drive through rural farmland yields Stop 3, where students learn about ethanol’s role in job creation and strengthening the U.S. economy. Finish the eLearning journey at Stop 4 to learn more about ethanol use in everyday activities. Students end their trip with a final true-false, no-stress Ethanol Challenge to reinforce what they’ve learned in the course.
The high school module features a GPS map to navigate through the online journey, providing opportunities for students to fill their tank along the way by successfully answering questions at the end of each topic.
