This is the teacher's guide to accompany the student guide which together comprise one of five computer-oriented environmental/energy education units. This unit explores the possible effects of the thirteen main energy-related decisions proposed in President Ford's 1975 State of the Union Address. The computer program at the base of the unit…

This is a compilation of annotations from "Current Index to Journals in Education" for articles relating to energy education. The publications announced relate to energy education by being: (1) instructional materials such as teaching activity guides; (2) teacher resource guides; (3) information sources on energy resources; or (4) school…

This module is the first in a series of eleven modules in an energy conservation curriculum for secondary and postsecondary vocational students. It is designed for use by itself, to be integrated with the other ten modules into a program on energy conservation, or to be integrated into conventional vocational courses as a unit of instruction. The…

This module is the ninth in a series of eleven modules in an energy conservation curriculum for secondary and postsecondary vocational students. It is designed for use by itself or as part of a sequence of four modules on energy conservation in building construction and operation (see also modules 8, 10, and 11). The objective of this module is to…

Introduces a series of lesson plans on energy for junior high school students. (YDS)

This six-volume set of multidisciplinary instructional materials developed by the National Energy Foundation (NEF) presents energy activities for grades K-1, 2-6. The instructional materials are teacher-developed, teacher-tested, and multi-disciplinary. The lesson plans and activities are organized around seven goal areas of a NEF developed…

This list of energy resource materials is broken down into five categories: (1) general resources; (2) electricity; (3) nuclear and fossil fuels; (4) conservation; and (5) future fuels. (An added feature for New York residents is a concluding list of resources available gratis from New York electric companies). Materials cited include audiovisual…

These activities and activity ideas are designed to reinforce energy concepts when only short periods of time are available. They require little teacher preparation, and take only a few minutes to complete. Some activities can be extended for longer periods of time. The activities have been separated into the following general categories: (1)…

A project was conducted (1) to develop 27 instructional modules as part of a curriculum series that presents energy conservation concepts and skills and (2) to disseminate the modules for use in secondary and postsecondary vocational training programs and courses. The series of modules, entitled "Energy Awareness and Conservation: YOU Make…

This curriculum guide contains lecture outlines and handouts for training solar technicians in the installation, maintenance, and repair of solar energy hot water and space heating systems. The curriculum consists of four modular units developed to provide a model through which community colleges and area vocational/technical schools can respond…

This directory lists energy education programs directed at increasing the energy conservation awareness of scientists, engineers, managers, and technicians working in fields where they are responsible for managing energy consumption. The resource is prepared to help with the process of identifying, selecting, and obtaining materials for promoting…
