THINK! ENERGY for students
PPL Electric Utilities, in conjunction with the National Energy Foundation and the Pennsylvania Department of Education, is proud to offer the THINK! ENERGY educational program.
THINK! ENERGY teaches students in grades 2-12 the importance of energy, natural resources and environmental issues. Each participating student’s family receives energy-efficient technologies to install at home.
How the program works
These programs are easy to implement and reinforce learning with relevant content and inquiry-based activities. Teachers receive a selection of supplemental National Energy Foundation instructional materials and optional activities that may be used in the classroom.
Participating students are asked to complete a form with their family, indicating what energy-efficient changes they have made. Each teacher will receive a mini-grant of $50 to $75, depending on the percentage of completed home energy worksheets returned. An 80% worksheet return rate is the minimum requirement for the mini-grant.
All program offerings are free and are correlated to Pennsylvania learning standards.
This program is available to schools served by PPL Electric Utilities. Sessions take place annually, beginning in September.
Bright Kids Grades 2-3
