Science. Iowa Developed Energy Activity Sampler, 6-12. Revised.
Iowa State Dept. of Education, Des Moines. Div. of Instructional Services.
The revised Iowa Developed Energy Activity Sampler (IDEAS) was compiled using the original IDEAS program and the Energy Conservation Activity Packets (ECAPS). This document is one of a series of revised IDEAS booklets, and provides activities for teaching science. The activities are intended to present energy principles in an interesting manner and to develop student skills in acquiring information and making well-informed decisions about energy issues. Each of the 25 activities in this document includes: (1) the subject area for which the activity was written; (2) the grade level; (3) a brief statement about the activity itself; (4) the objective(s) of the activity; (5) a list of materials needed: (6) the approximate amount of time needed for the activity; (7) a more complete description of the activity, including the various components of the activity and their relationship to Piaget's learning cycle (awareness, concept development, application); and (8) some followup/background information. In some activities the original source of the activity is also given. The focal points of the entire document are energy concerns, impacts, choices, challenges, and conservation. (TW)
