  2. Energy Bingo Energy Bingo can be played by an entire 4th-6thgrade class of 30 (or in any smaller group down to three students), for any length of time, and with any number of winners. Enables students to learn and/or review terms and definitions quickly and easily without tedious memorizing. Includes 30 playing cards (5" x 6"), 50 problem cards, master answer key, directions, and plastic markers.

  3. Energy Packed Trunk Attack The KEEP Energy Education Trunks are full of educational resources available for KEEP teachers to rent (only in Wisconsin). The Trunks were developed with the middle school student in mind, specifically grades 5-7. They contain materials for FIVE popular KEEP activities (Station Break, Circuit Circus, The Cost of Using Energy, At Watt Rate, and Diminishing Returns) as well as energy education VIDEOS and HANDS-ON RESOURCES. 

  4. Hand-crank Generator The hand-crank generator is a great tool to learn the difference between an incandescent light bulb, a compact fluorescent light bulb (CFL), and a light emitting diode (LED). Use your cranking power to discover How much energy it takes to light up different types of light bulbs. As you crank, a generator transforms your muscle power into electrical energy.

  5. Pedal Power Pedal Power is a tool you can use in your classroom to teach about energy production, use, and conservation. Students can actually ride a stationary bike to power a generator, which in turn powers three different types of light bulbs, a hair dryer, radio, fan, blender, and water heating element. This resource will teach students how much energy it takes to power these common electrical conveniences we use everyday and how important it is to turn them off when not in use (or not use them at all). The Pedal Power Package includes a sturdy bike stand, a free-standing board with telescopic legs which shows energy use in amps, a bag containing light bulbs, a hair dryer, radio, fan, blender, water heating element, a carrying case for the board, and a binder full of lessons and activities.

  6. Radiometer The original radiometer was invented by Sir William Crookes in the mid nineteenth century. The device was developed to measure the intensity of radiant energy or heat. Teachers and students can use these to demonstrate how light energy can be used to do work or change things.

  7. Watt Meter Watt Meters (sometimes called Line Loggers) are a tool that can be used to measure the electric usage of appliances. By plugging an appliance into the meter and then into a socket, you can measure the actual electric use of a particular appliance. Many public libraries across the State of Wisconsin have these resources available for check out.

  8. Videos These videos have been reviewed by KEEP Staff and are recommended for use in the classroom: • Switch: Discover the Future of Energy (98 minutes, or can be viewed in segments)- This film provides a fun, engaging opportunity for students to learn about the energy issues that drive our world, and the part we all play in our global energy future. It can be shown in chapters and has primer videos on different energy sources and information on current energy issues. More information: www.switchenergyproject.com/ . • Kilowatt Ours (35 minutes) - This documentary explains energy efficiency and renewable energy through a tour of the mountainous regions of the southeastern United States including Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, and North Carolina. After explaining the process of mountain top removal for coal, Jeff Barrie teaches about how much energy an average home uses per year and what we can do to decrease our fossil fuel consumption. The negative effects of fossil fuel use such as pollution and health problems are considered as well. This is a must-see for high school students and adults! Learn more about this video at www.kilowattours.org/. • Future World - This video follows two children as they travel to the year 2050 only to find that there is no energy left because we used it all up in this generation. This is a good video for younger students. These videos and many more are available for check-out through the Wisconsin Center for Environmental Education (WCEE) Resources Library (for WI residents only).
