CT Energy Education

The materials in the program are designed for use by Connecticut high school teachers and focus on the Connecticut Science Framework Standards for the 9th grade.

All are welcome to use the materials and many lessons are applicable to middle school to college level classes. Connecticut Energy Education lessons have a Connecticut and regional energy use tie, allowing students to understand complex energy issues and the challenges facing us now and into the future. Users from other areas should research issues from their region.

The Institute for Sustainable Energy at Eastern Connecticut State University provides the educational materials, development and administration for Connecticut Energy Education.

The CT Energy Education project has been guided by a Stakeholder group of Connecticut educators and energy professionals.
