Schools of the Future Every school will have irrigation systems. The schools will be cozy for the students. The school of the future will have solar energy. They will have sunroofs to help heat the school. The schools will generate their own power using the solar panels. The schools will use natural light instead of electricity. The schools will have farm animals as their class pets. Every school will have a room called naptime.

School of the Future By looking at schools today we can get a good idea of what a school of the future would be like. A school of the future would have a skylight proven by studies to help students learn better and conserve energy. It has a kindergarden through college. The school of the future has a restaurant or cafeteria for kids. Our school of the future has an outdoor basketball court on the roof with glass enclosing the basketball court, to play regulated games. It also has a parking garage for teachers and students in high school and college. That is why our school is a school of the future.

A School of the Future That Uses Energy Efficiently Imagine a school of the future. Unlike what most people picture,
future schools won’t look like a futuristic spacecraft or a moon base. Schools of the future will have energy efficient designs that blend in with the environment. Clean, renewable energy will be important in the future. Schools may have their own renewable energy sources. Clean energy sources can include: 1. Solar energy- this is one of the most abundant forms of clean energy known. It is also the cleanest, but the solar cells used to collect it are expensive. 2. Wind energy- this is somewhat abundant, but the wind doesn’t always blow. It is very clean, but the turbines used to collect it are large and expensive. 3. Geothermal energy- this is almost as abundant as solar energy. Usually, geothermal energy is used as heat. 4. Hydrogen energy- hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe and is high in energy. A fuel cell combines hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricity, heat, and water. When an engine burns hydrogen, it produces almost no pollution. 5. Nuclear energy- nuclear energy sometimes seems as the most promising form of energy. When contained correctly, nuclear energy is safe, and it causes no pollutants. If a nuclear reactor has a meltdown, it could cause severe local destruction. Therefore, using nuclear energy needs extreme caution from world leaders. Most of the time, nuclear energy is contained correctly, so nuclear energy may be the most common form of energy when fossil fuels become scarcer. These reactors require huge concrete buildings to contain the radiation. 6. Hydro energy- this form of energy is abundant and very clean. Dams in rivers or tides near the ocean can collect it. The buildings used to collect it are expensive and large. Only solar, wind, and geothermal energy can be used directly with a school. Schools of the future may protect better against crime. Metal detectors at the entrances could cause criminals to think twice. Also, better locks and security systems could make the school safer. Robotic teachers may be used in the future, but they will need human supervisors. Robots may never fully replace humans. The school buildings of the future will provide more protection against disasters. Many buildings in West California already have earthquake protection to make them shake with the earthquake, and in the future, this protection may be required for certain areas. Schools may be sturdier, to protect against high winds and tornadoes. These schools may be more resistant to fire too. By: Adam Birkemeier and Ethan Blankemeyer (Grade 7) |
Future School Plans During this project I asked myself many questions like, what material will future schools be made of? To find the answers I just researched the facts of the past and see how schools have upgraded since then. I got facts just like the ones below:
5. Schools in the future will get more high-tech do to the process of electricity since the 600 B.C. Thales of Miletus wrote about charging amber. 6. Due to the result of electricity the upgrade of high-tech schools will increase. 7. Future schools will stay the same besides the electronics and how we get to school By: Bryce Ricker (Grade 7)
