Get Smart About Energy!

DOE announced the launch of a new educational website that provides more than 350 lesson plans and activities on energy efficiency and renewable energy for grades K-12. DOE's new "Get Smart About Energy!" website includes hands-on activities that address energy fundamentals, energy efficiency, sources of energy, and the environmental impacts of energy use. All of the activities and lesson plans are aligned with the National Science Education Standards. Teacher guides are included with many of the lessons, and all the materials are free and reproducible. The website will help equip today's students with the knowledge and resources to develop cutting-edge energy technologies in the future.
