Renewable energy is the energy that is extracted from natural sources, such the Sun (solar), earth (geothermal), wind, and water (hydropower). These sources are renewable because they can be replenished by the same natural sources within...

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.

Work samples, phenomena, assessment templates, and videos that directly address standard 4-ESS3-1: renewable and non-renewable energy.

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...

Taking advantage of free energy can reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, which are harmful to our environment. In this science fair project, you will work with a solar panel, which is a collector of free energy, and investigate how...

Experiment making biodiesel from different types of oil and determine which oils give the best result. This science fair project from Science Buddies, although in an abbreviated format compared to other Science Buddies experiments, gives...

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

Students explore the topics of mineral extraction, renewable and nonrenewable resources, and hazardous wastes in this comprehensive, interactive module.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Presents the way geothermal energy is harnessed and some of its benefits and costs. Downloadable resources are also available.

In this learning module, students learn to differentiate between renewable and nonrenewable resources, and identify resources that fit into each category. It explains the environmental effects of using nonrenewable resources, such as...

Students explore what kind and how much bio-mass can be produced in an area around your city or town. They figure how many gallons of fuel can be expected from one acre of crop land, and how much carbon can be sequestered in the local area.

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 solar energy and how this renewable power can help the environment. Teach students about solar cells and using the sun for heat.
