Extractions: The CrossRoads Middle School community has been working on many energy and environmental issues since the beginning of the school. We started off earning our Earth Flag the first year, and each year we continue to enrich those programs and give birth to new programs. CrossRoads Middle School has over 150 students who are actively involved as Earth Stewards. The Earth Stewards collect and distribute newspaper, fine grade paper, six-pack rings, magazines, catalogs, plastic grocery bags, ink cartridges and cardboard. We have ten students who have been involved with our School Store, where we sell new and recycled school supplies. This year we are continuing these programs and we gave birth to the Energy Club. The Energy Club has been meeting weekly to plan and prepare for our Earth Day Carnival. We will have four stations, which include Energy Scavenger Hunt, Race Car Energy Quiz Down, Word Scramble, Energy Bowling Game, and Hunt and Find.

Extractions: K - 5th grade Thirty stand-alone science lessons on the topics of water, energy, and fish and wildlife were developed by teachers for use by BPA employees volunteering to teach elementary classes in their local schools. Now being offered to teachers to augment their science curricula. Hands-on activities and experiments lead students to discover science concepts for themselves. In each of the three topic areas, units are graded for K-1, 2-3 and 4-5 grades, but many of the lessons can be used across grade levels. View SOLD Energy Smarts Team Training Manual 3rd - 8th grade This manual is a teacher's guide to energy conservation activities for elementary and middle school students, developed in Eugene, Oregon, in 1993 with a grant from Bonneville Power Administration. It can be used to teach students to monitor their school building for energy consumption so that they can start thinking about using resources wisely. The manual includes a pretest and post-test; simulation games to build problem solving and teamwork skills; and training in basic electricity and practical skills like meter reading.

KEEP Going Online contained here, which give examples of how to teach about the Promising energy educationpractices range from ten minute motivational activities to year http://www.uwsp.edu/cnr/wcee/keep/publications/peep.htm
Extractions: Many teachers would agree that in the field of education, energy is a difficult topic to teach. It's invisible, yet we depend upon it everyday! As teachers prepare their students for life in the 21st century, energy-related environmental, social, and political problems make energy education more important than ever. Global warming, exponential population growth, and dwindling fossil fuels demand that students are conscious of the energy choices they make and the effects of those choices upon the future. In response to this challenge, some teachers have been working to increase the energy literacy of their students. Yet according to a 1998 study by the Energy Center of Wisconsin, 47 percent of Wisconsin teachers do not teach energy. By providing examples of teacher successes in energy education, it is our hope that others will be inspired to teach about energy. This book was created to assist "energy educators." K-12 teachers from around Wisconsin volunteered the submissions contained here, which give examples of how to teach about the relevance and importance of energy at every grade level in any subject area. These energy educators have successfully brought energy into their classrooms from food chain dynamics to investigating renewable energy sources to learning how energy use has shaped our past and current environmental, political, and sociological issues. Promising energy education practices range from ten minute motivational activities to year-round projects, and include creative twists and adaptations to already existing activities or projects dealing with energy. These promising practices can be used as springboards for creating even more activities, projects, and lesson plans in energy education.
