    Energy Dialogues

    is a web-based resource that explores current energy topics using an inquiry-based approach.

    The Energy Dialogues interactive site allows students to view a series of videos that explore topics such as wind energy and hydraulic fracturing. They will hear first about the science and then about the related multiple perspectives. The series culminates with a round-table discussion and guiding questions that encourage critical thinking and analysis of current environmental and natural resource issues.

    Carbon in your Community Forest


    This activity asks students to go outside and measure some trees in their community. Students use measurements to come up with a rough estimate of the carbon that is stored within these trees. They will also explore how the amount of carbon stored in trees relates to the amount of carbon emitted by day-to-day activities and the co-benefits of urban forests.

    Objective
    – Students will take measurements of trees to estimate the amount of CO2 stored
    – Students will recognize the role that trees play in carbon sequestration
    – Students will understand the relationship between carbon emissions of daily activities and carbon storage in trees
    – Students will explore their community and recognize the co-benefits of urban forests

    This hands-on kit is an interactive set of tools designed to enhance water literacy and engage students in water conservation activities.

    The Water Innovation and Stewardship Education (WISE) Kit was designed with a grade 4-9 audience in mind but we know teachers are experts at adapting great resources to fit within their unique classroom situations. There are tons of links that can be made to science, social studies and math curriculum as well as general environmental education topics.

    Inside Education does our best to provide WISE kits to schools across the province and have a limited number of kits available. We limit distribution to 1 kit per school, and we will let you know if your school is one of the lucky recipients! Once we contact you, you can expect a kit to be sent out right away. For teachers outside of Alberta, or anyone else, please download the Teachers Guide full of great ideas and information to engage students in water stewardship and innovation! It also contains a list of items found in the kit, both for planning or re-ordering purposes.
