Description

Energy issues are important to Canada, and a logical topic for Canadians to teach. The Energy Education group at the University of Calgary has built a free on-line resource suitable for teaching an 'energy for everyone' course from a physics department. This resource includes interactive data visualizations and real world simulations to help students understand the role of energy in modern society
