The following educational and professional development services will be provided free-of-charge to qualifying school districts:

• Educational Materials and Services: K-12 Instructional Materials and Activities correlated to California content standards in science, math, language and arts will be provided in a written format to all participating schools. A variety of program materials will be made available, with project-based learning activities directed to all grade levels. These materials, provided from the Alliance to Save Energy’s Green Schools instructional resources binder, will include binders and CD-ROMs with sample lesson plans, books and interactive CD-ROMS. The school districts will also receive free materials from the U.S. Department of Energy's EnergySmart Schools program, California Integrated Waste Management Board, California State and Consumer Affairs’ Flex Your Power Energy Challenge, and much more.
  
• Hands-On Tools: Tool Kits with devices commonly used by energy professionals will be provided to students at elementary and middle/high school level. These kits will allow students to identify potential energy conservation opportunities, collect data analyze results and prepare recommendations for improving the efficiency of the operation of their school buildings.
  
• Project-Based Learning Ideas and Resources: Teacher’s Guides and outlines of student projects will be provided for organizing activities centered on water, waste and energy conservation for students at the middle and high school level. An example of such activities is a hands-on energy audit conducted by the students.
  
• Films, Assemblies, Slide Shows and More: A collection of free communication media that will provide context and raise awareness of energy and sustainability issues will be used to inspire students, parents and school staff.
  
• Additional Reading Materials: Schools could sign up for colorful dinosaur-themed ’Big Books’ for younger students, and an energy-related non-fiction library that will supplement science activities for older students.
  
• Professional Development: Educators will have the opportunity to attend an 8-part course professionally designed for elementary teachers on the science of energy. The course is designed to help non-science majors understand and present energy concepts to students. Participants will receive graduate level credit or CEUs, and benefit from new ideas for using energy as an integrating theme in all instructional areas.
  
• Interactive Mobile Energy Lab with Activities for Students and Parents: Participating schools will be
  provided access to Mobile Energy Efficiency Labs, a practical educational tool that informs and educates
  students about energy-efficient technologies that include lighting, appliances and heating & cooling
  equipment.
