Smart Grids and Dynamic Pricing: Lesson Kit for Upper Secondary (Ages 15–17)

A 50-minute classroom lesson pack for upper-secondary students (roughly 16 years old). Contains a PPT in the Every1 on-demand-deck style, a print-and-write student workbook with a real Belgian hourly wholesale-price profile (sunny spring day), and a teacher's guide. 
The lesson maps the four-fold shift (generation, direction, measurement, pricing) and then unpacks three building blocks: distributed measurement via smart meters, dynamic pricing via the day-ahead market, and flexibility services delivered by batteries, demand response and aggregators. 
The core activity is 'design a smart day' — students read the real price chart, place a household's main loads (EV, heat pump, dishwasher, washing machine, dryer) at the right hours, and compute the saving versus a €0.30/kWh flat tariff (expected ~50 %). 
A discussion section covers fairness ('Matthew effect'), the privacy implications of 15-minute consumption data, and six career paths in energy digitalisation. 
The teacher's guide gives a minute-by-minute script, expected answers, cross-curricular links (Physics, Economics, Citizenship) and a curated list of Every1 Knowledge-Hub decks for student follow-up.
