Guide to field trips featuring energy production and use
These are dozens of sites and events that provide students with meaningful experiences and expose them to innovative and/or historical examples of energy production and use. We focus on places where energy-science serves society’s needs with innovation and environmental awareness.
You are welcome to contact us to discuss these sites and others, and we are always looking for information about how educators have experienced sites and events, and have made educational use of them. To share ideas, please use the forum on our bulletin board:
