There are 5 classes 40 minutes each. Can you create the resources using this description Essential Question: Why is affordable, clean energy important for all people?

This resource explores the concepts of light and electricity through various vocabulary words. It includes definitions and prompts for illustrations, helping students grasp the meanings of terms like 'light', 'dark', 'electricity', 'expensive', and 'cheap'. The document further compares homes with and without electricity using images and encourages deeper thinking about the accessibility of energy over time. Students also engage with a word bank related to everyday items that require energy, highlighting the necessity of power in daily life. Additionally, it discusses clean versus not-so-clean energy sources, prompting students to reflect on global energy needs and share ideas about what some people may lack.
