NEED’s staff and Teacher Advisory Board members work hard to provide educators and students with balanced energy information and helpful teacher tools. In the preparation of the NEED Energy Booklist recommendations of books and resources were compiled from a wide variety of teachers and sources. Members of the NEED staff have not personally reviewed each recommended title. It is strongly recommend that teachers take time to read and review the content and tone of the book to ensure that it meets the individual needs of your classroom and is factual and accurate to the best of your knowledge.
