Energy in Virginia Poster
Through a grant from Dominion, NEED and the Science Museum of Virginia partnered to design and deliver Energy in Virginia to Virginia’s teachers and students. The new curriculum module adds Virginia information and energy data to NEED’s energy materials and includes a new learning map of Virginia’s energy infrastructure, lessons and activities, and new exhibits at the Science Museum of Virginia in Richmond, VA.
