Energy Conservation Activities for Elementary Grades (Or: How To Help Slim Down the Energy Monster). Iowa Developed Energy Activities Sampler, Primary K-2. Revised.
Iowa State Dept. of Education, Des Moines.
The revised Iowa Developed Energy Activity Sampler (IDEAS) was compiled using the original IDEAS program and the Energy Conservation Activity Packets (ECAPS). This booklet provides activities for teachers to use in the primary elementary grades (K-2). The activities are organized into nine units, with units 1 through 8 containing three activities each, and unit 9 serving as a final review. Each activity 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 Jean Piaget's learning cycle (awareness, concept development, application); and (8) some follow-up/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)
