Teachers have an important role in shaping the next generation of decision makers. The Pembina Institute has created new education resources to help support this role. We've made these resources easy to find on our new teacher materials page located at www.re-energy.ca/t_teacher.shtml
Teachers can access a renewable energy unit plan, specific lesson plans, a sustainable transportation backgrounder and lesson plan, and solar car and solar oven posters. Also unique to this education resource is the new curriculum correlations that will assist teachers in aligning renewable energy with their science curriculum requirements. The materials provide teachers with everything they need to teach about renewable energy in the classroom. The lesson plans also incorporate the renewable energy models.
Thousands of teachers and other individuals and groups across Canada have downloaded the informative and useful backgrounders, lesson plans and model construction plans. Requests, comments and information have been received from across Canada as well as internationally.
Renewable energy is an effective way to reduce our environmental impact, and especially our carbon dioxide emissions. The Pembina Institute is committed to educating our youth about renewable energy so they will have a solid understanding of their future energy sources.
