Cornell Cooperative Extension Oneida County 
Launches New Bio-Fuel Educational outreach tool.

Meeting the needs to provide educators information on research-driven information on renewable energy technology, Cornell Cooperative Extension Oneida County launches a new Bio-Fuel Educational outreach tool geared for 8th/9th grades.  It is an electronically-available lesson that provides educators a complete, learning standard-ready information package.  This package consists of a Smartboard lesson, an accompanying video feature “Future Fuels” (approximately 17 minutes) and a companion comprehensive Teacher’s guide.  The lesson provides objectives, information, vocabulary, resources and classroom activities related to cellulosic ethanol production for liquid transportation fuel development.
