Energize an environmental science unit on natural resources with this collection of instructional materials. From simple coloring sheets for primary grade children, to guiding questions for a high school research...

Get energized about all the different sources of energy. A research project has scholars investigate a renewable or non-renewable energy type of their choice. They write a report on their findings and decide on a way to publish their work.

Students explore energy sources. In this science lesson plan, students complete an interactive activity in which they choose the energy sources they will use to power a city. Students discuss renewable energy options.

Students compare and contrast different energy sources and the trade-offs of using them.

Learners design an energy resource wheel and demonstrate how to use it to access information about renewable and nonrenewable energy sources.

Learn about renewable energy sources including biomass, which includes biofuels, hydropower, geothermal, wind, and solar.

A slideshow and a short quiz on the different types of renewable energy sources.

Kids learn about renewable energy and how it can help the environment. Teach students about solar, wind, biomass, and geothermal energy.

Did you know that the earth produces incredible amounts of heat or geothermal energy? This heat can escape in dramatic volcano eruptions, but it can also escape as steam through geysers and other sources. Learn how this heat can be...

Kids learn about geothermal energy and how this renewable power can help the environment. Teach students about heat pumps and electric plants.

Students form expert engineering teams working for the (fictional) alternative energy consulting firm, Greenewables, Inc. Each team specializes in a form of renewable energy used to generate electrical power: passive solar, solar...

You might know that we are able to get free energy from the Sun, the wind, and water, but we can also get free energy from Earth itself. This source of energy is called geothermal energy and it is all about taking advantage of the heat...
