U.S. DOE – Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy (EERE)Learning About Energy. Here you'll find resources that will help you learn or teach about energy, especially about energy efficiency and renewable energy. Find grade-appropriate lesson plans and curriculum for teaching energy topics.www.eere.energy.gov U.S. DOE – EERE General Renewable Energy (Dr. E’s Energy Lab)This site is an excellent resource for students to engage in activities which help understand renewable energy.www.eere.energy.gov/kids/ NREL – Learning About Renewable Energy & Energy EfficiencyRenewable energy and energy efficiency technologies are key to creating a clean energy future for not only the nation, but the world. This web site describes NREL's research in renewable energy technologies, and also provides information on energy efficiency and various applications of renewable energy.www.nrel.gov/learning/ Energy Information Administration – Energy Kids’ PageMost activities were developed by the National Energy Education Development Project in cooperation with the Energy Information Administration. This web site contains a selection of stories, hands-on activities, and research articles for students of all learning styles and levels.http://tonto.eia.doe.gov/kids/ Sandia National Laboratories – Adventures in Science & KnowledgeSandia National Laboratories and Lockheed Martin present the Adventures in Science & Knowledge website. This is the place for information about exciting education outreach programs.www.sandia.gov/ciim/ASK/ AZURE - AZ Understanding Renewable EnergyAZURE is an education-outreach partnership between Arizona's electric utility companies, designed to educate Arizonans about Renewable Energy resources.www.azure-education.com Arizona Solar CenterYour guide to solar energy and other renewable energy sources in Arizona.www.azsolarcenter.org Also, check out the education oriented section. Come inside and explore various technologies, including photovoltaics, solar cooking, solar water heating, solar architecture, and wind power. Solar Energy International – Renewable Energy for a Sustainable FutureSEI's Solar In the Schools (SIS) program focuses on the creation, implementation, and dissemination of renewable energy curriculum. The SIS program goals are three-fold: the proliferation of youth-geared renewable energy education in Colorado and beyond through presentations and curriculum development, the installation of renewable energy technology in the schools themselves, and the eventual realization of a multi day accredited renewable energy education workshop for teachers. SIS emphasizes critical thinking skills by exploring energy choices, conducting scientific experiments, raising awareness, and promoting creative solutions to today's energy issues.www.solarenergy.org Kid Wind ProjectThe KidWind Project is a team of teachers, students, engineers and practitioners exploring the science behind wind energy in classrooms around the US. The goal is to introduce as many people as possible to the elegance of wind power through hands-on science activities which are challenging, engaging and teach basic science principles.www.kidwind.org National Energy Education Development (NEED) ProjectThe mission of the National Energy Education Development Project is to promote an energy conscious and educated society by creating effective networks of students, educators, business, government, and community leaders to design and deliver objective, multi-sided energy education programs.www.need.org National Energy Foundation - Resources for EducationThe National Energy Foundation provides curriculum, training and materials that promote a better understanding of energy, natural resources, and the environment.www.nef1.org/students.html Energy HogLearn how to improve the energy efficiency of your home. You’ll save money, improve the comfort of your home, and help the environment too.www.energyhog.org Energy QuestEnergy Quest is the award-winning energy education website of the California Energy Commission. It debuted on the World Wide Web on October 1, 1995, to celebrate October as National Energy Awareness Month! Energy is an integral part of our daily lives. Without energy our society would decay into pre-historic savagery. Teaching an "energy ethic" to conserve finite resources is essential to our energy future, which is currently dependent on fossil fuels. We also must rely on our youth to help us create new ways to harness the elemental forces of our planet and the universe. They are tomorrow's scientists and inventors. They will discover new means of energy production and innovative ways to use less energy. We hope Energy Quest will answer their questions and spur creativity and imagination.www.energyquest.ca.gov National Science FoundationIndependent federal agency created to promote the progress of science as well as advance national health, prosperity, and welfare.www.nsf.gov Energy NetEnergy Net is an engaged learning program that integrates technology, standard-based learning and workplace skillswww.energynet.net Easy Appliance Parts - ResourcesFacts and Information All About Energywww.easyapplianceparts.com/resources/Facts-And-Information-All-About-Energy.aspx1 PITSCO Ideas & SolutionsProjects and education kits for learning about Sustainable Energyshop.pitsco.com/store/default.aspx?CategoryID=27&by=9&c=1 Renewable Energy MBA-Marylhurst UniversityDegree program provides a foundation in business with a concentration in renewable energy related to energy use, business strategy and operational management.onlinedegrees.marylhurst.edu/mba-renewable-energy |
