Energy Web Quest

This lesson, from the Northern Wyoming Community College District, focuses on mining for energy sources in the state of Wyoming. Students learn about "the amount of resources available for mining and the amounts produced throughout the state," including coal, natural gas, fissionable materials, oil, and wind, with a mind towards potential employment in these energy fields. 

The lesson, intended for students in high school, takes one two class period to complete, and requires a basic knowledge of internet search skills and basic computing skills. Upon completion of the lesson, students will have developed and understanding of concepts related to energy recovery, Wyoming's energy reserves, and the transformation of raw materials into energy.
