written by the California Energy Commission

This website, appropriate for grades 5-8, tells a narrative story of what energy is and how it works in our world. It is divided into 20 chapters ranging from scientific concepts of energy, atomic models that aid in understanding of electron flow, sources of energy, and how energy is stored and converted. The site includes multiple drawings and animated illustrations that help students relate energy to their everyday world. It also provides links to many other resources for both teachers and learners.
