"CELEBRATE THE ENVIRONMENT
Because parties are fun, they are an easy way to learn things. People feel better after sharing a good time together. They talk and get new ideas to help the Earth. Then they have a good reason to act on what they have learned. Just as the Fourth of July reminds us to love our country, Earth Day reminds us to love and care for the Earth and our fellow creatures.

Energy Sourcebooks
The Energy Sourcebooks are teaching guides and energy education activities to help students better understand electricity, energy, and the environment. The lesson plans were developed by TVA energy specialists working in partnership with classroom teachers and university staff. All learning activities were field-tested in schools and coordinated with state departments of education.
Renewable Energy Curriculum
The Renewable Energy Resources curriculum is a classroom tool developed by TVA's Public Power Institute. Its purpose is to educate children in the science and ecology of renewable energy.
Learning about renewable energy resources is appropriate for any grade level. The material has been divided into three levels: elementary (grades 3-5), middle (grades 6-8), and high school (grades 9-12). You can use this material for lesson plans, demonstrations, hands-on and enrichment activities, and science fair projects.
