Classroom
Bring All Things Energy into Your Classroom Today!Our curriculum is intended to be used I conjunction with our Virtual RoadShow, as well as our traveling educational exhibit. Depending on your schedule, you can spend as little as one class period or as much as a full week teaching your students about the many facets of energy using our free, downloadable curriculum. Utilizing McREL standards, each lesson will provide you with subject areas, learning objectives, standards correlations, time and materials requirements, step-by-step classroom procedures, evaluation suggestions, extension activities and all handouts, quizzes and teacher answer keys.

Win a RoadShow Visit to Your School!
We want to hear your ideas! Your class is invited to enter the What Will Fuel the Future? Class Project for a chance to win a Carter Energy RoadShow visit to your school*.
Will it be alternative types of energy? Solar? Wind? Trash? Maybe people won't go from place to place in cars anymore. Will there be mass people movers? Will we dematerialize and move through space? There is no correct answer and there are no bad ideas. We can't wait to start reading your responses!
