(2004). Clean Energy Basics, National Renewable Energy Laboratory. 2004 http://www.nrel.gov/clean_energy/.
This is a magnificent up-to-date source of renewable energy and energy efficiency information primer. It includes many links to additional resources.
(2004). Ecokids, Earth Day Canada. 2004 http://www.ecokidsonline.com/pub/eco_info/books_n_links/eco_books/e_books.cfm
Has a great number of resources geared towards children and young adults. It also includes a list of teachers and parents resources, links, games, and great graphics.
(2004). EduGreen, The Energy and Resources Institute http://edugreen.teri.res.in/index.asp.
This site is geared towards older students. However it has to offer many great resources, including stories, poems and multimedia projects. Because it originates in India, this site offers a multicultural perspective.

A very comprehensive site with all types of resources from science fair projects to colorful graphics, biographies, games, and many links.

(2004). Solar Energy Education, Environmental Education Exchange. 2004 http://www.eeexchange.org/solar/frameset.htm.
What I like about this site is the simplicity of the site, yet the thoroughness of the information. Highly recommended for the primary level.

An excellent site for young students. Has great graphics with a comprehensive look at sources of energy and many links.
@1H:Appendix C: Poem
La Energía Es Fundamental
La energia y yo
la uso cada dia
Por la ma–ana hasta la noche
Desde la medianoche al mediodia
En el invierno y el verano
La primavera y el oto–o
En la escuela, en el teatro,
En la tienda y en el ba–o
El carro, la bicicleta
El barco y el motor,
Sin energia no hay
Ni viento
Ni movimiento
La energia y yo,
Somos una. No dos
Si se mueve
Si usa o no usa un motor
La energia es
Para todo esencial.
Viene en dos estados
Una es la energia potencial
Y de la kinescética
no te puedes olvidar
Pues la energia
Para todo es fundamental.
Para crecer y jugar,
Para correr y calentar
Para mover y poder funcionar
Sin energía nada, ni nadie
Puede trabajar.
Energy All Around
Energy, energy all around
Energy, energy up and down
From the clothes we wear
To the foods we eat
From the cars we ride
To the music we hear
There is energy
Even though it can’t be seen
I know it when it moves
I know it when I grow
From consumption
To production
From the water, the air
The sun and the sea
Energy, energy all around
Energy, energy up and down
