http://library.thinkquest.org/20331/

Have you ever thought about how important energy is? Do you know where it comes from? How many types of energy are available and which is best? At this site you can read about fossil fuels--coal, wood, oil and natural gas--or learn the difference between nuclear fission and fusion. Solar, wind, and geothermal are also covered. Play a simulation game concerning an energy crisis that is likely to occur in the future. Visit Site

http://learnaboutenergy.org/

An energy awareness program. This site has been used in the classroom from Cincinnati to New Zealand to Switzerland to Australia and beyond.

A very neat interactive website that is sure to keep students active. Highly recommended!

Energy Quest is the award-winning energy education website of the California Energy Commission. It debuted on the World Wide Web on October 1, 1995, to celebrate October as National Energy Awareness Month! Our newly updated version (EQ v. 2.0) debuted Memorial Day, May 27, 2002.

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. We hope Energy Quest will answer their questions and spur creativity and imagination.
