8. Interactive / Simulations • The Carbon Footprint Calculator allows students to determine the carbon they contribute to the atmosphere. • Teachers can have students explore ways to reduce their carbon footprint. • Data can be used for graphing, research or writing. • Teachers might use this simulation within the context of their science, mathematics, social studies, or English-language arts classes.

9. Interactive / Simulations • The Windfarm is a downloadable simulation that asks students to position the turbines to generate maximum electricity while minimizing disturbances to wildlife and local people. • Teachers might use this to help students understand wind patterns, examine city planning decisions, or within the context of a study on electrical generation / renewable energy.

10. Interactive Site • The Engineers interactive site allows students to explore questions related to engineering such as: • What is engineering • Who are engineers • Types of engineers • Where engineers work • Teachers can use this to help students understand career pathways.

11. Simulations • Students can click through the proposed decarbonization facility in development in both Scotland and Carson, California to learn about the interaction of systems and new technologies California Scotland

12. Videos of Energy Technologies • Videoshelp students understand the sequence of how technologies work • Includes audio-visual text for Universal Access • Videos include topics such as: • Solar(how PV Cells work) • Wind(how turbines work) • Natural Gas • Hydrogen

13. Calculators • Interactive calculators can help students understand the scale and relationships between and among various measurements (dimensional analysis).

14. Interactive / Customizable Graphs • Students can create custom charts and tables showing the energy types, regions and timeframes that interest them. • Charts can be exported for use in presentations and reports. • Rather than spending time helping students draw the graph or chart and plot the points, this tool allows the teacher to focus students on critical thinking related to interpretation of the data.
