For K-12 Teachers
California Energy Commission
Energy Quest, hosted by the California Energy Commission, is a comprehensive educational Web site focused on energy resources for K-12 students and teachers. The site offers general information on energy, including sources, history, and efficiency, as well as energy in transportation and research and discoveries in energy. The site also features games, videos, lesson plans, activities, stories, science fair project resources, and links to many other sites for energy education.
The Energy Commission also sponsors a statewide energy art calendar contest, which is held each spring for students in grades 3-8.
