Sustainable Energy

An introduction to renewable energy sources, how they work, and the choices we face in building a clean energy future — designed to give students a working knowledge of the technologies reshaping how we power our lives.

• Solar: capturing energy from sunlight, from passive design to photovoltaics

• Wind: turning moving air into electricity

• Geothermal: tapping the steady heat stored beneath our feet

• Hydro and tidal: harnessing the power of moving water

• Biofuels: growing and converting plants into usable energy

The guides below go deeper, with a full teacher's guide for bringing sustainable energy into the classroom.
