Classroom Energy!
API has created a new resource for educators and students that explores the topic of energy. Visit www.classroom-energy.org for background information, classroom activities, interactive tours, and links to a variety of energy education resources.

There's a lot of life in a barrel of oil
It's amazing how many things get their start from a barrel of oil. Everyday things like the gasoline you use to drive and the comfy synthetic fabrics you wear year round. You'll discover how the oil and natural gas industry keeps America going strong. For additional information about energy, visit the All About Petroleum section of API's Classroom Energy website.

Discover the wonders of natural gas
Natural gas was formed millions of years ago when most of the earth was covered by water. Plant and tiny animal remains were mixed and layered with sand and mud. Today, natural gas gives us clean energy to heat our homes, cook our favorite recipes, dry our clothes and light the great outdoors.

All About Petroleum
This highly readable, colorfully illustrated booklet provides interesting and useful information about all aspects of oil and natural gas: their chemical composition, their use throughout history, modern drilling methods, transportation to market, and the outlook for the future. Suitable for a wide range of audiences, including the general public, teachers and students.

Facts about Fossil Fuels
Fossil fuels --including coal, oil, and natural gas--are sources of energy that humans have taken advantage of over thousands of years.  Learn more about how these resources are extracted and transformed to bring you the energy you rely on everyday.

Energy Education Posters
The National Energy Foundation has developed several instructional posters on oil and natural gas.  They also offer lesson plans and other energy resources for students and teachers.
