Climate Classroom

The National Wildlife Federation's new ClimateClassroom.org website is designed to help parents and teachers talk to students of differing ages about global warming. Features include guidelines for parents, proposed new national global warming educator guidelines, age-adapted sources of useful curricula, a downloadable slide presentation for kids, presenter's guide, and more.

Got Energy Hogs?

The "Energy Hog" campaign is providing energy education tools to the people who influence the lives of the next generation: teachers. Why? Saving energy lessens our dependence on foreign oil, improves our air and water quality, and reduces our energy bills. To help spread the word about energy efficiency, educators can print out student and teacher guides and energy scavenger hunts from the website, or request activity worksheets, bookmarks, and tattoos via email. Contact Erin O'Sullivan at eosullivan@ase.org for more information. Check out the Energy Hog website at www.energyhog.org for fun and educational online games.
