Energy Institute Overview

The focus of the Energy Institute is to educate teachers about energy concepts that they can then bring to their class room. The information and activities are, in general, more involved than what would be given to the grade school students and thus the teachers must create their own lessons from the material provided to use for themselves.

The Clarkson University teaching staff for the 2009 Energy Institute were:

• Dr. Susan Powers, Professor
• Dr. Ken Visser, Associate Professor
• Ms. Jan DeWaters, Doctoral Candidate
• Mr. Nate Barlow, Doctoral Candidate
• Mr. Dan Hetzel, Masters Student

Below is a resource list and the final assignment from the institute. The resource list has a variety of informational websites, curriculum and activity suggestions, and includes a link to the Energy Jeopardy Game's website.
