| Description: | This interactive site from the California Energy Commission contains a variety of resources in energy education including videos, stories, science projects, puzzles, educational games, and coloring books at varying levels of difficulty. It includes a list of resources for parents and teachers, and links to other educational places on the Internet. "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." |
