With pilot-testing complete, eCards has launched a new topic resource centres for students on Oil and Gas. eCards now includes six topic resource centres: Solar Energy, Wind Power, Nuclear Power, Arctic Glaciers, Energy Success Stories, and Oil and Gas.

The new Oil and Gas unit includes videos with experts in the field as well as global and Canadian facts about crude oil and natural gas. The unit guides students through three key questions:

• How do crude oil and natural gas become energy for human use?
• What are the advantages and disadvantages of our use of oil and gas?
• What role will crude oil and natural gas play in our energy future?

Like other eCards resources, this one is primarily designed for students in grades 7 through 9 in Social Science, Geography, Language Arts, and Media Literacy. To see this new resource, click Oil and Gas under Learn More at the eCards website.
