Activities and Alternatives for Energy CANCELLED
Session: 5901
This course is designed for teachers in grades K - 10 and meets the following professional development criteria: K- 10 science content, reading comprehension, using teaching techniques and strategies to create a culture of learning, and teaching skills. The course materials are aligned to the Pennsylvania Environment and Ecology and Science and Technology Standards.

Teachers will receive the Energy Thinking Unit, developed by the Northeast Sustainable Energy Association and provided by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. Teachers will also receive a kit of energy equipment, valued at $50 from Science Matters. Designed around grade levels 5 – 8, the Energy Thinking Unit can be effectively used in both elementary and middle/junior high grade levels.

As adults, we are aware of the daily news articles regarding energy issues and the impact of energy consumption on our personal finances. Activities and Alternatives for Energy will provide you with effective lessons on energy issues and provide hands on science activities for your students

Day One will be at the Washington and Jefferson College, Washington, PA. Participants will explore energy resources using energy resource cards and energy use and efficiency in homes by constructing a model energy house. Day Two will be held at the CCI, (Conservation Consultants, Inc.) a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified Green Building on Pittsburgh’s Southside. The Green Building concept and the applications in this structure will be examined. Transportation alternatives will be explored.

Participants will be assessed using a multiple choice pre and post assessment. Scores on the post assessment must be at least 80%. Participants will also complete the IU evaluation and implementation forms. As the course assignment, teachers will be asked to prepare an instructional unit of at least five lesson plans or to develop a problem based learning unit incorporating these energy activities and ideas.
