• The National Academies presents: What You Need to Know About Energy
  As debates about energy grow more intense, Americans need dependable, objective, and authoritative energy information. The National Academies, advisers to the nation on science, engineering, and medicine, provide the facts about energy—a complex issue that affects us as individuals and as a nation. Uses, costs, sources, efficiency.

• Alliance to Save Energy
  Green Schools programming. Energy costs are an enormous expense for our nation's schools. To help free up more resources for education while strengthening academic learning, the Alliance's Green Schools Program engages students in creating energy-saving activities in their schools, using hands-on, real-world projects. Through basic changes in the operations, maintenance, and individual behavior, Green Schools has achieved reductions in energy use of 5 to 15 percent among participating schools. In addition, Green Schools encourages students to apply the lessons of energy-efficiency message in their homes and communities. Learn more about Green Schools and how to get involved and visit our Green Schools in Action page to read featured case studies from our sc

• Forces and Winds: online meteorology guide
  The weight of the air above an object exerts a force per unit area upon that object and this force is called pressure. Variations in pressure lead to the development of winds, which in turn influence our daily weather. The purpose of this module is to introduce pressure, how it changes with height and the importance of high and low pressure systems. In addition, this module introduces the pressure gradient and Coriolis forces and their role in generating wind. Local wind systems such as land breezes and sea breezes will also be introduced

• Greenville [A sustainability game]
  Think running an eco-friendly community is easy?  GREENVILLE lets players take a fictional community a test drive, managing resources, shelter, and population over time. The primary goal of the game is to keep Greenville's population healthy and happy for one fictional year.   As the population grows, so does the demand for shelter and resources.  Players must collect resources such as Food, Water, and Energy from the area around Greenville.  These resources are used to build and upgrade structures in Greenville such as a Town Hall, Housing Co-Op, or Water Filtration Plant.  Resources can also be traded at the Market and spent on helpful Advisory Groups such as a Volunteer workforce, Arts Council, or Farmers Union.
