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).

http://eric.ed.gov:80/ERICWebPortal/detail?accno=ED153845
This instructional unit for the second grade is intended to stimulate the child's curiosity to know more and to grasp relationships through a blending of ideas about energy with a study of the effect of the use of energy on the livelihood of people in the community. There are four lessons in the unit. The first, Introduction to Energy, deals with the question, "What is energy and energy conservation?" The second lesson, Community Workers Who Work Directly With the Sources of Energy, discusses farmers, grocers, food processors, oil workers, gas station attendants, and meter readers. The third lesson is entitled Community Workers Whose Work Depends on a Continual Supply of Energy. The fourth lesson is Community Workers Who Make Decisions About Energy. Each lesson contains complete teacher and student materials including background readings, objectives, teaching strategies, and suggestions for extending the learning outside the classroom. (BB)

Energy-Environment Mini-Unit Guide: ED111664
This unit is one part of a three-part National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) series on energy-environment. The goal of this NSTA project is to create a collection of mini-units that provide materials for science and social studies teachers in grades K-12. These materials are intended to make teaching more interdisciplinary and to stimulate decision making in young children. Activities are sought that will enable students to: understand and use existing fundamental concepts in the energy-environment area; identify and evaluate personal and community practices, attitudes, and values related to energy-environment issues; and make effective decisions and/or define their views of appropriate actions on energy-environment issues.
NSTA Energy-Environment Source Book: ED111662
This source book, one part of a three-part NSTA series on energy-environment, is written for teachers who wish to incorporate material on the complex subject of energy into their teaching. This work is divided into two volumes, each with numerous tables and figures, along with appendices containing a glossary, mathematics primer, heat engine descriptions, and nuclear energy discussion. Volume 1 (Energy, Society, and the Environment) deals with energy and its relationship with conservation, the environment, the economy, and strategies for energy conservation. In Volume 2 (Energy, Its Extraction, Conversion, and Use), topics discussed include the rate of energy consumption, future sources of energy, and the increased cost of energy. (Author/CP)
Energy-Environment Materials Guide: ED111663
This publication, one part of a three-part NSTA series on energy-environment, is a sampling of current energy literature. The references are divided into four separate categories, each directed for a specific audience: readings for teachers, readings for students (grades 8-10); Readings for students (grades 5-9); and readings for students (grades K-6). Included in four appendices are guides for films and audio-visual materials, curriculum materials, sources of information, and government documents. (Author/CP

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.
