Energy Quest is a full of interactive learning fun. A playful website from the California Energy Commission uses an animated, responsive menu to take kids on an energy journey where they can be "Devoured by the Dark" (an online chapter story); play games including "Watt's That?", crosswords, and cryptograms; and consult the energy library which contains other informative websites and links to downloadable and electronic books.

There are many other kid-friendly learning tools on this site including a How Does It Work section, biographies of super scientists, advice on saving energy, a student's guide to alternative fuel vehicles, and Weekly Energy News.

This site additionally contains informative links to other sites, a students' art gallery, and an option to ask Professor Questor an energy-related question.
