Energy Data Used in NEED MaterialsNEED believes in providing the most recently reported energy data available to our teachers and students. Most statistics and data are derived from the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s Annual Energy Review that is published in June of each year. Working in partnership with EIA, NEED includes easy to understand data in our curriculum materials. To do further research, visit the EIA website at www.eia.doe.gov. EIA’s Energy Kids site has great lessons and activities for students at www.eia.doe.gov/kids.

4 Elementary Energy Infobook Activities
Content Standard B | Physical science � Properties of Objects and Materials
� Objects have many observable properties, including size, weight, shape, color, temperature, and the ability to react with other substances. Those properties can be measured using tools, such as rulers, balances, and thermometers.
� Position and Motion of Objects � The position of an object can be described by locating it relative to another object or the background. � The position and motion of objects can be changed by pushing or pulling. The size of the change is related to the strength of the push or pull. � Sound is produced by vibrating objects. The pitch of the sound can be varied by changing the rate of vibration.
� Light, Heat, Electricity, and Magnetism � Light travels in a straight line until it strikes an object. Light can be reflected by a mirror, refracted by a lens, or absorbed by the object. � Heat can be produced in many ways, such as burning, rubbing, or mixing one substance with another. Heat can move from one object to another by conduction.
� Electricity in circuits can produce light, heat, sound, and magnetic effects. Electrical circuits require a complete loop through which an electrical current can pass.
Content Standard D | earth and sPace science � Properties of Earth Materials
� Earth materials are solid rocks and soils, water, and the gases of the atmosphere. The varied materials have different physical and chemical properties, which make them useful in different ways, for example, as building materials, as sources of fuel, or for growing the plants we use as food. Earth materials provide many of the resources that humans use.

Correlations to National Science Education Standards; Grades 5-8
Content Standard B | Physical Science � Transfer of Energy
� Energy is a property of many substances and is associated with heat, light, electricity, mechanical motion, sound, nuclei, and the nature of a chemical. Energy is transferred in many ways.
� Heat moves in predictable ways, flowing from warmer objects to cooler ones, until both reach the same temperature. � Light interacts with matter by transmission (including refraction), absorption, or scattering (including reflection). To see an object, light from that object—emitted by or scattered from it—must enter the eye.
� Electrical circuits provide a means of transferring electrical energy when heat, light, sound, and chemical changes are produced. � In most chemical and nuclear reactions, energy is transferred into or out of a system. Heat, light mechanical motion, or electricity might all be involved in such transfers.
� The sun is a major source of energy for changes on the earth’s surface. The sun loses energy by emitting light. A tiny fraction of that light reaches the earth, transferring energy from the sun to the earth. The sun’s energy arrives as light with a range of wavelengths, consisting of visible light, infrared, and ultraviolet radiation.
Content Standard D | earth and sPace science � Earth and Space Science
� The solid earth is layered with a lithosphere; hot, convecting mantle; and dense, metallic core. � Water, which covers the majority of earth’s surface, circulates through the crust, oceans, and atmosphere in what is known as the “water cycle.” Water evaporates from the earth’s surface, rises and cools as it moves to higher elevations, condenses as rain or snow, and falls to the surface where it collects in lakes, oceans, soil, and in rocks underground.
� Water is a solvent. As it passes through the water cycle it dissolves minerals and gases and carries them to the oceans.
� Earth in the Solar System � The sun is the major source of energy for phenomena on the earth’s surface, such as growth of plants, winds, ocean currents, and the water cycle. Seasons result from variations in the amount of the sun’s energy hitting the surface, due to the tilt of the earth’s rotation on its axis and the length of the day.

Teacher GuideBackgroundElementary Energy Infobook Activities is a series of student worksheets designed to reinforce the vocabulary and information in the Elementary Energy Infobook.
TimeApproximately fifteen minutes to one-half hour for the students to read the selected infosheet and complete the worksheets.
Skills�Nonfiction Reading �Critical Thinking�Vocabulary�Graphing
Preparation�Decide which infosheets from the Elementary Energy Infobook and which worksheets from this guide you will use with your class.
�Obtain a class set of the Elementary Energy Infobooks or make copies as necessary. The Elementary Energy Infobook can also be downloaded from www.NEED.org.
�Make copies of the worksheets you plan to use.
Procedure1. Distribute one infosheet and one of each selected worksheet to each student.
2. Have the students read the selected infosheet. Discuss the concepts and new vocabulary in the infosheet.
3. Have the students complete the selected worksheets.
4. Once students have read all of the energy source infosheets and completed the worksheets for each source, have the students complete the worksheets on pages 18-23. These worksheets reinforce and synthesize the information in the infosheets.
5. Have students read about electricity in the Elementary Energy Infobook, then have students complete the worksheets on pages 24-27. These worksheets reinforce electricity concepts and vocabulary.
6. Critical Thinking Questions are included on page 6. You may choose to use any or all questions with your students.
7. Use the Evaluation Form on page 39 to evaluate the activities.
6 Elementary Energy Infobook Activities
Critical Thinking Questions1. Energy does a lot for us. Which of it’s jobs do you think is the most important? Why?
2. Write a paragraph explaining all the ways you could use biomass in a day.
3. Do you think people mining for coal should have to use reclamation on the land? Why or why
not?
4. Which layer of the earth do you think is the most important? Why?
5. Two drops of water meet in a cloud. They start talking about their last trip to earth. One went
through a hydropower plant. The other helped provide water for wheat to grow. They got into
an argument over who did a more important job. Write a dialogue between the two water
drops.
6. What do you think some of the problems would be in capturing methane gas from rotting
garbage?
7. Explain how you use petroleum in your life. Can you reduce the amount of petroleum you use?
How?
8. Explain why we switch propane into a liquid. Draw a picture to illustrate your explanation.
9. Do you think the sun’s light or heat is more important? Explain your answer.
10. The radiation from nuclear fuel can be dangerous if not taken care of properly. Explain at least
two other things that can be dangerous if not taken care of properly.
11. Draw a picture of a wind farm. Put in as many details as you can.
12. Add at least 5 more energy words to one of the crossword puzzles. Make sure they attach to a
current letter. Write clues for your words.
13. Explain, with diagrams and words, what “opposite charges attract each other” means.
14. When we flip a switch, our lights go on. When we plug something in, and turn it on, it works. We
don’t think about where electricity comes from. Pretend you are a spark of electricity. Explain
your journey from an energy resource to your game console.
