Curricula 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.

Site Links Home Search for ERIC Digests Privacy Policy Resources for Library Instruction ... Information Literacy Blog ERIC Identifier: Publication Date: Author: Heimlich, Joe E. Source: ERIC Clearinghouse for Science Mathematics and Environmental Education Columbus OH. Using the Child's Environment To Teach at Home and School. ERIC/CSMEE Digest. The world of a child is the tangible, real world of the here and now. It is difficult for children to extend ideas from the small, familiar world in which they operate to the larger, abstract world beyond. Even adults envision distant parts of the world based on their own experiences and prior learning. Nevertheless, the global concepts of environmental education, the basic principles of ecology, and the importance of environmental responsibility can be instilled in a child without reference to faraway places. These ideas can all be made concrete right where the child lives and goes to school. BASIC PRINCIPLES OF ECOLOGY One of the fundamental tenets of ecology is that all activities have by-products. In environmental education, it is understood that this tenet applies to all activities of nature, both natural and human-induced. Some of these by-products are called "pollution." Though pollution tends to have a negative connotation, not all pollution necessarily affects the environment adversely (Botkin and Keller, 1982). Ivan Illich, an environmental philosopher, suggests that most of the problems of humans and the environment are a consequence of a society originally designed to protect people from the environment, improve their material circumstances, and enhance their freedom (Gardels and Snell, 1990). Yet, to be good for humans, the environment must be compatible with the unchangeable needs of human nature. Because people are relatively unable to adjust biologically to nature, we must change our immediate environment instead (Dubos, 1971).

ENQUIRER POST WCPO CIN WEEKLY ... Customer Service Currently: Fair Weather Traffic HOME NEWS ... Newsroom Directory Saturday, December 28, 2002 Students teach others: Science is fun By Karen Andrew The Cincinnati Enquirer ANDERSON TOWNSHIP - Elementary students across Greater Cincinnati are discovering that learning about science, particularly energy, can be fun, thanks to 20 juniors and seniors at Anderson High School. "The younger students see the older kids and think, `This is not such a geeky thing,'" said Jeff Rodriguez, a physics teacher and science club adviser at Anderson. His students, members of the school's award-winning National Energy Education Development (NEED) club, conduct community energy activities and train elementary students to become energy leaders at their schools. "I have a great group of kids that makes it easy," Mr. Rodriguez said. "That's why we've won a national award three of the last four years. This is their way of community outreach and to be a positive role model for the younger students." The club's Web site, learnaboutenergy.org, recently received an Internet Challenge award from ThinkQuest, an international teaching Web site. It was a featured site in Lightspan's StudyWeb, a search engine for educational resources. The site has received queries from around the world, including New Zealand and Switzerland.
