NSTA's Project for an Energy Enriched Curriculum
The Project for an Energy-Enriched Curriculum (PEEC) reported was a long-running effort at infusing energy/environment/economics (E/E/E) themes into the K-12 curriculum. While it was conducted as a single integrated effort by the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA), it is supported by a series of contracts and grants, during the period 1976 to 1984, from the Energy Research and Development Administration (ERDA) and the US Department of Energy (DOE).

ENERGY EDUCATION WORKSHOP HANDBOOK
http://eric.ed.gov/ERICWebPortal/detail?accno=ED180794
This handbook is designed to help teachers, supervisors, club leaders, and in-service directors lead workshops in energy education. It is based primarily on materials produced by Project for an Energy-Enriched Curriculum (PEEC), but can be modified for use with other materials. The handbook contains six chapters including: (1) Introducing the PEEC Packets; (2) What Are the Facts Behind the Energy Crisis; (3) Interdisciplinary Approaches to Teaching Energy; (4) Infusing Energy Topics into Traditional Subjects; (5) Adapting PEEC Materials to Regional Interests; and (6) Workshop Planning Aids.
