What Others Are Saying About Us

Our students were engaged with the materials and they were able to discuss the materials with one another easily.

Classroom Educator

The booklet that the children received was engaging because it told them how to be safe in the home, what natural gas is, and what to do in emergencies. The children liked the lessons and the stickers that taught them about the smell of natural gas.

Elementary Teacher

We have used the poster, online games, and the challenge booklet. It is an excellent way to inform students about energy, specifically Natural gas. It covers 4th grade science standards too. Thank you for doing this and making it very simple to implement in school. The students love it!
