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. Tho

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 reected 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 anoth

by conduction.

Electricity in circuits can produce light, heat, sound, and magnetic eects. Electrical circuits require a complete loop through which an electric

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 dierent physical and chemic

properties, which make them useful in dierent ways, for example, as building materials, as sources of fuel, or for growing the plants we use

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 o

chemical. Energy is transferred in many ways.

Heat moves in predictable ways, owing from warmer objects to cooler ones, until both reach the same temperature.

Light interacts with matter by transmission (including refraction), absorption, or scattering (including reection). To see an object, light from th

objectemitted by or scattered from itmust 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 b

involved in such transfers.

The sun is a major source of energy for changes on the Earths surface. The sun loses energy by emitting light. A tiny fraction of that light reach

the Earth, transferring energy from the sun to the Earth. The suns energy arrives as light with a range of wavelengths, consisting of visible lig

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 Earths surface, circulates through the crust, oceans, and atmosphere in what is known as the water cycl

Water evaporates from the Earths surface, rises and cools as it moves to higher elevations, condenses as rain or snow, and falls to the surfa

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 Earths surface, such as growth of plants, winds, ocean currents, and the water cyc

Seasons result from variations in the amount of the suns energy hitting the surface, due to the tilt of the Earths rotation on its axis and the leng

of the day.

6/466 Energy Games and Icebreak

Get Ready

Duplicate as many Renewable Energy Bingo sheets (found on page 29) as needed for each personyour group. In addition, decide now if you want to give the winner of your game a prize and wh

the prize will be.

Additional Energy Bingo games focused on specic energy sources and topics can be found

www.NEED.org.

Get SetPass out one Energy Bingo sheet to each member of the group.

Go

PART ONE: FILLING IN THE BINGO SHEETSGive the group the following instructions to play the game:

Energy Bingo is very similar to regular bingo. However, there are a few things youll need to kno

to play this game. First, please take a minute to look at your Energy Bingo sheet and read the

statements at the top of the page. Shortly, youll be going around the room trying to nd 16 peop

about whom the statements are true so you can write their names in one of the 16 boxes.

When I give you the signal, youll get up and ask a person if a statement at the top of your bing

sheet is true for them. If the person gives what you believe is a correct response, write the person

name in the corresponding box on the lower part of the page. For example, if you ask a perso

question D and he or she gives you what you think is a correct response, then go ahead and wr

the persons name in box D. A correct response is important because later on, if you get bingo, th

person will be asked to answer the question correctly in front of the group. If he or she cant answthe question correctly, then you lose bingo. So, if someone gives you an incorrect answer, ask som

one else! Dont use your name for one of the boxes or use the same persons name twice.

Try to ll all 16 boxes in the next 20 minutes. This will increase your chances of winning. After the

minutes are up, please sit down and I will begin asking players to stand up and give their names. A

there any questions? Youll now have 20 minutes. Go!

PART TwO: PLAYING BINGODuring the next 20 minutes, move around the room to assist the players. Every ve minutes or s

tell the players how many minutes are remaining in the game. Give the players a warning when ju

a minute or two remains. When the 20 minutes are up, stop the players and ask them to be seate

Then give them the following instructions.

When I point to you, please stand up and in a LOUD and CLEAR voice give us your name. Now,

anyone has the name of the person I call on, put a big X in the box with that persons name. Wh

you get four names in a rowacross, down, or diagonallyshout Energy Bingo! Then Ill ask yo

to come up front to verify your results.

Lets start o with you (point to a player in the group). Please stand and give us your name. (Play

gives name. Lets say the players name was Joe.) Okay, players, if any of you have Joes name in on

of your boxes, go ahead and put an X through that box.

When the rst player shouts Energy Bingo, ask him (or her) to come to the front of the room. A

him to give his name. Then ask him to tell the group how his bingo run was made, e.g., down fro

A to M, across from E to H, and so on.

Reneable Energy BingoInstructions

Energy Bingo is a great

icebreaker for a NEED

workshop or conference. Asa classroom activity, it also

makes a great introduction to

an energy unit.

Now you need to verify the winners results. Ask the bingo winner to call out the rst persons

name on his bingo run. That player then stands and the bingo winner asks him the questionwhich he previously answered during the 20-minute session. For example, if the statement was

can name at least three renewable energy sources, the player must now name three sources. If

he can answer the question correctly, the bingo winner calls out the next persons name on his

bingo run. However, if he does not answer the question correctly, the bingo winner does not

have bingo after all and must sit down with the rest of the players. You should continue to point

to players until another person yells Energy Bingo.

1.Energy does a lot for us. Which of its jobs do you think is the most important? Why?

Answers will vary, but may include powering our electronics and appliances, allowing us to move and grow, allowing plants to grow and providefood, and powering vehicles.

2.Write a paragraph explaining all the ways you could use biomass in a day.

Paragraphs may include burning wood to make a re or cook food, burning garbage to make electricity, and using biofuels to power cars.

3.Do you think people mining for coal should have to use reclamation on the land? Why or why not?

Students should pick yes or no, and explain why the land should be taken care of after it has been used for mining or why not.

4.Which layer of the Earth do you think is the most important? Why?

Answers may vary, but should include a good description of the layer students pick as well as a statement about why their layer is more importanthan the other two.

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 otherhelped provide water for wheat to grow. They got into an argument over who did a more important job. Write a dialogue between the twwater drops.

Dialogues should describe how the water droplets got to their job sites as well as how each droplet does work. The dialogue should also includdiscussion of why each job is important, and potentially even identify a winning droplet with a more convincing argument.

6.What do you think some of the problems would be in capturing methane gas from rotting garbage?

Answers will vary, but may include that gases can escape easily so it must be trapped at the landll. Students may suggest collection methods aswell.

7.Explain how you use petroleum in your life. Can you reduce the amount of petroleum you use? How?

Students will likely suggest that they use a lot of petroleum in transportation from place to place. Students may also mention that many of theproducts they use every day, such as plastics, medicines, etc. are made from petroleum. Student answers should include descriptions of items usand a suggestion for reduction, like carpooling or using recycled materials.

8.Explain why we switch propane into a liquid. Draw a picture to illustrate your explanation.

Student explanations should describe that liquids take up less space than a gas, and that it makes it easier to move around and control use. Studeillustrations may include size comparisons or examples of propane in use.

9.Do you think the suns light or heat is more important? Explain your answer.

Answers will vary. Students should pick light or heat, and explain why their choice is more important.

10.The radiation from nuclear fuel can be dangerous if not taken care of properly. Describe at least two other things that can be dangeroif not taken care of properly.

Answers will vary. Students may describe things like pets, rearms, cleaning supplies, gasoline, or even light bulbs.

11.Draw a picture of a wind farm. Put in as many details as you can.

Pictures will vary, but should include more than one wind turbine and show detail of the turbines and where they are located.

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 word

Answers will vary.

13.Explain, with diagrams and words, what opposite charges attract each other means.

Answers should describe or show a scenario with two dierent items close to each other. Student examples may include magnets, or even peoplcoupled together who are dierent.

14.When we ip a switch, our lights go on. When we plug something in, and turn it on, it works. We dont think about where electricitycomes from. Pretend you are a spark of electricity. Explain your journey from an energy resource to your game console.

Students may identify they energy resource they begin as (uranium, coal, etc.). Students may explain how that resource turns into electricity. Theshould trace the path from the power plant to the transmission lines, to their homes. A diagram can be found in the Electricity Travels throughWires section of the Elementary Energy Infobookthat may be helpful to reference.
