Overview
Learning about energy is a valuable way for students to understand Alberta’s natural resource landscape and how it impacts our economy and environment. The Energy Education Tool Kit includes tools, activities and lessons adapted from Inside Education’s energy programs to create an immersive energy education experience for your students. This kit is split into 8 topics, each exploring a different aspect of energy in Alberta. Each topic has an introductory sheet, activities, and opportunities to “consider, connect and learn more”.
