This energy game activity engages students in learning about energy sources. This game demonstrates that energy, the environment, and economics are closely tied together. During the course of the game and in the discussion afterward, students learn the concepts of scarcity, opportunity cost, net energy profit, law of diminishing returns, and that availability does not mean usefulness. Please note the link for this resource takes you to a site with multiple geology resources. This game is located under the "Geology, Society, and the Environment" section at the bottom of the page.
