NATURAL RESOURCES POSTER IS AWARD-WINNING TEACHING TOOL
(October 18, 2005) — A collaboration between AFRE and the National Energy Foundation (NEF) has produced an award-winning teaching resource for use by teachers across the nation. "Exploring Natural Resources and their Uses" is a beautifully illustrated poster highlighting all natural resources, their related industries, and their value to our livelihood and lifestyles.

AFRE received an award from the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (ASCD) for the in-depth educational unit featured on the back of the poster. The unit was designed for teachers to take directly to their classrooms. It identifies the uses of natural resources in a way that helps students understand their own role in preserving and sustaining those resources, now and in the future. The educational lesson guide was created using backwards design, the latest in curriculum development.
