Kick off the new school year with puzzles, games and fun!
The Energy Information Administration (EIA) today unveiled Energy Kids, its redesigned website, featuring more than 100 pages of fun educational content for kids, parents, and teachers. Both the site and its ever-popular host, Energy Ant, got a makeover during summer vacation and are ready to get back to school.
Kids can learn about energy and challenge their brains with energy Sudoku, crossword puzzles, and word searches. Teachers can submit energy lesson plans, share their expertise and get chosen as contributor of the month. The site also features energy-related stories, hands-on activities, and research articles for the classroom.
"We're making energy fun so young people develop an understanding of energy and its increasingly important role in our daily lives, economy, and environment," said EIA Administrator, Richard Newell. "Energy Kids can help them get started."
