    Energy Resources

    The Energy Resources Unit has been designed for use in grades 7-9. The Energy Resources Unit has eight lessons which cover topics such as Michigan energy use and sources, how electricity is generated, renewable and non-renewable energy resources, energy conservation and efficiency, and environmental sustainability. Students keep an Energy Use Diary, compare Michigan and U.S. per capita energy consumption to energy use in other countries, and calculate their energy footprint. What is Michigan's energy future?
