Each year your students become more and more interested in watching out for the environment. They're recycling, planting trees, and preserving natural habitats. How they choose to use energy affects the environment too. For example, the electricity used to power a TV may very likely come from a coal-fired energy plant that emits carbon and sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere. Now you can feed your kids' curiosity about environmental issues with the Energy Center of Wisconsin's Energy Ed programs.
Energy has a broad reach into topics like science, economics, social science, and the environment.
Use our Energy Ed resources to teach students concepts like how energy flows through systems and how to use energy more efficiently, as well as practical activities like how to harness solar power. Or use energy to launch into a discussion of supply and demand or ecosystems. You can even reach out to other Wisconsin teachers interested in energy education through your computer. Whether you're looking to adopt an energy curriculum or want to incorporate energy into an existing curriculum, we can help you find the teaching tools you need. The Energy Center of Wisconsin is working together with electric and gas utilities, as well as the University of Wisconsin, the Wisconsin Energy Bureau and a variety of public-interest organizations to ensure that students have opportunities to become wise energy consumers.
