This booklet gives a brief overview of energy use patterns in a dairy farm and gives tips on cutting costs of water heating, ventilation and supplemental heat, milk cooling, vacuum pumps, electric motors, tractors, trucks, engines, and lighting. Finally, energy use recordkeeping is discussed. (BB)

This booklet gives a brief overview of energy use in poultry operations and gives examples of cutting costs of brooding, lighting, ventilation, feeding, watering, waste removal, housing design, construction and maintenance. Finally, energy use recordkeeping is discussed. (BB)

Basic experiments were part of an intensive, three-week energy conservation workshop conducted by Wilkes College. A group of 32 secondary science teachers participated in this workshop in order to acquire both facts and techniques that would enable them to act as resource persons for their schools, communities, and their own homes.

Steps for integrating energy education into the curriculum. (Author/MLF)

If we are to cope successfully with our dwindling resources, conservation education must be integrated into the entire school curriculum. (Author)

Presents the rationale for and content of a program for senior executives of manufacturing firms. The program was designed to increase their awareness of the need and potential for energy saving and to improve efficiency of energy use. Also lists recommendations related to information support, incentives, training, and other areas. (JN)

Views on the social and institutional forces that act on curriculum decisions are presented, some possible futures for the entry of energy into the curriculum are reviewed, suggestions on teaching methods are provided, and a few ideas about resources for integrating energy curricula and social studies are offered. (RM)

Outlines a classroom program for energy education at the elementary and secondary school levels. Presents methods for initiating and implementing the program and suggests activities. Students investigate what energy investments each community has in each basic requirement for living in the community. (Author/KC)

Suggests sources, mainly governmental, of curriculum materials for energy education, K-12. (SJL)

Describes an energy education project aimed at limited-resource families in Oklahoma. Program delivery was accomplished through mailed flyers, public meetings, and individualized instruction. Educational materials covered housing structure modification and behavior change. The "Choctaw Project" was judged to be a success. (CT)

A survey of Florida State University students showed that their current laundry practices generate energy and water over-consumption. The survey also resulted in some concrete suggestions to the students that would improve their conservation practices. (Author/BP)

Activities are suggested and presented in some detail so that science process skills can be applied to the study of energy conservation. Presented are some observing activities and measuring activities. A table presenting energy used by home appliances is included. (EB)

A possible energy source is the utilization of solid waste as fuel for power production. Although this is only a partial solution to the problem, it will provide some energy while research continues. The economic feasibility of using wastes depends upon a greater amount of energy being produced than expended. (MA)

This game is designed to provide basic energy information and to foster addition, subtraction, and multiplication skills while the game is being played. Game cards contain questions, answers, and information on the value of the questions. The cards are to be cut apart and retained by the "referee" as he/she asks questions of team…

Two-thirds of what we waste could be reused without important changes in our life-styles. One benefit of recycling would be the diminishing contribution of raw materials prices to inflation. For a sustainable resource policy there are three basic components: waste reduction, waste separation, and waste recovery. The first can be met by producing…
