Google Knowledge Graph

The Knowledge Graph enables you to search for things, people or places that Google knows about—landmarks, celebrities, cities, sports teams, buildings, geographical features, movies, celestial objects, works of art and more—and instantly get information that’s relevant to your query. This is a critical first step towards building the next generation of search, which taps into the collective intelligence of the web and understands the world a bit more like people do.

Lose Your Excuse for Losing Energy

Great website for kids ... and everyone else.  This interactive site offers many online and offline activities for students to learn about energy conservation from the U.S Department of Energy.  View some popular excuses we hear over and over about why we don't save energy. Find videos and other resources under Energy Extras. Click on Posters to create your own energy conservation poster or to see posters created by others. Play the Energy Rescue Game (more entertaining than educational) or go to the Lost Excuses Land to save energy by eliminating the excuses and learning the facts.
