The Energy Education Mobile was developed by ATCO EnergySense in consultation with Alberta teachers to align with the Alberta Grade 4 curriculum in Science and Social Studies. The activities on the Mobile help students learn about Alberta’s energy resources and energy efficiency in a fun, interactive way. Since the Mobile was launched in 2010, it has visited over 380 schools in approximately 200 communities throughout Alberta.

The Mobile can accommodate a group of 16 students and each session takes about one hour. Two ATCO co-ordinators facilitate the learning experience, answer questions and ensure students are engaged as they rotate through the Mobile’s four interactive learning stations.

The Energy Education Mobile complements these specific curriculum areas:

• Grade 4 Science – Waste and Our World. Students learn to identify examples of how energy is wasted and actions they and others can take to minimize waste.

• Grade 4 Social Studies – Alberta: A Sense of the Land. Students will learn to identify Alberta’s energy resources, where they are located and how those resources are used.
