Want to learn about the Energy Literacy principles and concepts?
The Energy Literacy Initiative is excited about its new video series highlighting each of the 7 Essential Principles of Energy. The Department of Energy, the Center for Geoscience and Society at the American Geosciences Institute (AGI), and the National Center for Science Education (NCSE), developed these videos to help educators bring key energy principles to the classroom. The videos are also available in Spanish.
