Information for Teachers Let us help you!
You have little time and little resources. Here at the EnergyExplorium we have many teaching materials and resources available to you. For large school groups we offer dynamic presentations on basic electricity, energy and nuclear energy.
We also provide fact sheets, lesson plans, experiments and other resources for the classroom which are downloadable here and available at our location.
Duke Energy has partnered with Scholastic Inc. to provide energy efficiency education for students, their families and teachers. Click here for more information on "Power in Energy."
