Energy Data Sheets

Abstract

Cliff Day, who compiled the Energy Data Sheets, first became interested in teaching about alternative energy sources when he was at Glen Eyre School, Southampton. He developed a special interest in solar energy and many of his pupils were caught up in project work which was entered successfully in local competitions and found an important place in exhibitions of school work.

His development work soon became well known to local teachers and to the Department of Education at the University of Southampton where, in 1978, he took up a Hartley Research Studentship, for two years full-time, to refine and develop the materials already available and to extend his study to other sources of energy.
