Energy Education Tool Kit

Grade 3-9/EN

Overview

Learning about energy is a valuable way for students to understand Alberta’s natural resource landscape and how it impacts our economy and environment. The Energy Education Tool Kit includes tools, activities and lessons adapted from Inside Education’s energy programs to create an immersive energy education experience for your students. This kit is split into nine topics, each exploring a different aspect of energy in Alberta. Each topic has an introductory sheet, activities, and opportunities to “consider, connect and learn more”.

Inside Education provided 75 Energy Tool Kits during the 2023-24 school year through our Energy Tool Kit Workshops in Lethbridge, Calgary, Edmonton, Grande Prairie, and Fort McMurray. If you are interested in a Tool Kit for the 2024-25 school year, apply to attend an Energy Tool Kit Workshop.

Teachers can also borrow these energy tool kits from the ATA resource library, Calgary Catholic Schools Resource Library, Mount Royal University Library, and Devon Public Library. If you don’t have a tool kit but want to explore energy with your students, we encourage you to check out the teachers guide and activity pages below.
