Get Smart About Energy
Animation showing a community with schools, houses, roads, grass, trees, and a river. Clouds are moving in the sky and the sun is peeking out from the corner of the image. Yellow circles are moving rapidly through power lines to convey electricity, wind turbine blades are spinning, and the water in the river is moving. A yellow school bus labeled 'Biodiesel' drives into the picture while a child rides a bike down the street. A small red plane flies in the sky carrying the message, 'Get Smart About Energy!' As the plane flies to the center of the picture, it leaves the sign in the middle of the sky, turns upside down once, and flies out of the picture. Three schools are shown in the picture and labeled: For Grades K-4, For Grades 9-12, and For Grades 5-8. These link to lesson plans and activities for each specific grade.
