Students investigate the manufacture of aluminum cans and consider the energy and resources saved when the cans are made from recycled material. They explore the concept of closed-loop recycling using charts, worksheets and discussion.

Students observe a model of a waterwheel to investigate the transformations of energy involved in turning the blades of a hydro-turbine into work. They work as engineers to create a model for a new waterwheel while considering resources,...

Discover the power of wind energy. Learners design, build, and test wind blades in a hands-on experiment. They analyze the results to determine if they can make any improvements before gathering as a class to discuss their designs.

Young scholars experiment with a solar still. In this distillation lesson plan, students find a simple way to use evaporation to make salty water drinkable.

Students examine how they use and waste natural resources. They participate in a class discussion about natural resources, in small groups complete a worksheet identifying ways students misuse natural resources, and create an...

Students select a wide variety of presentation methods to compare Planet X and Earth. Students share these with their classmates. Students select other methods to present their ideas about a livable planet for human life forms. ...

Young scholars list all the ways humans use trees and tree by products. For this lesson students watch a video, discuss the impact trees have on humans, and research common products made from trees. The young scholars use their findings...

Students explore environmental safety by planting seeds outside their classroom. In this Earth Day lesson, students identify the different ways to recycle and conserve resources on Earth while facilitating recycling bins around campus....

Students examine static and current electricity, and discuss what their lives would be like without electricity. They listen to a teacher-led lecture about electrons and atoms, and explore static electricity using a comb or a balloon...

Students identify recycled and recyclable products by reading labels. They discuss what happens to solid waste in landfills and its impact on the environment. They discuss ways in which they can conserve natural resources.

In this energy science fair project, the student will use ocean buoy data to determine if any locations along the coasts of the United States are appropriate for building wave energy power systems.

In this energy science fair project, the student will experiment with three types of grasses and determine which variety yields the highest amount of biomass. The Science Buddies project ideas are set up consistently beginning with an...

Have you ever dreamed of a world where you could take the scraps from last night's dinner and toss them into your car's fuel tank and make gas? Well, we're not quite in "Back to the Future" yet, but in this energy science fair project,...

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.

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...

Shana is learning about water. Help her discover all the different ways water can provide us with energy.

Chara is finding out a lot about the wind and how it can provide energy to us. Join her in Cyprus to learn along with her.

Kids learn about the science behind Energy including its different forms such as chemical, electrical, heat, and gravitational. When is energy considered renewable or nonrenewable?

Kids learn about wave and tidal energy and how this renewable power can help the environment. Teach students about this new technology.

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

Electricity is the flow of electrical power or charge. It is a secondary energy source which means that we get it from the conversion of other sources of energy, like coal, natural gas, oil, nuclear power and other natural sources, which...

A slideshow and a short quiz on natural resources, the difference between renewable and nonrenewable resources, and the impact humans have on the Earth's natural resources.

Kids learn about biomass energy and how this renewable power can help the environment. Teach students about biodiesel, ethanol, and methane gas.
