Presentation Notes
At the core of Energy Literacy: Essential Principles and Fundamental Concepts for Energy Education are the seven Essential Principles. Each principle is supported by six to eight Fundamental Concepts. Principles 1-3 cover the natural sciences (physics, chemistry, earth science & biology). Principle 4 addresses energy sources, use, and infrastructure. This is largely an engineering and technology principle. Principles 5-7 are social science principles covering energy issues related to decisions, behavior, civics, economics and more, all largely through a lens of impacts and consequences. The Energy Literacy framework is meant to be used by educators to guide the development and improvement of energy education efforts. It is not yet designed for use by the learner to become energy literate. The Department of Energy is working with various education partners who are developing videos, an iBook version, and energy primers focused on each principle that will eventually be available for this purpose. Beyond the K-12 arena, the Department of Energy has been collaborating with the Sustainable Prisons Program in Washington state, realtors who are teaching sustainable energy classes, the Association of Public and Land Grant Universities who are designing a general education Energy 101 course for freshmen in college, and many others. Beyond the hard copy being handed out, the Energy Literacy framework is available in pdf format on the website listed on the slide. If people have further questions, they can email DaNel Hogan at the address listed.

Presentation Notes
This worksheet which is included in both Science of Energy Guides helps students learn the difference between forms of energy and energy sources and explains how they are related. Again explain that torms of energy are how scientists classify the different kinds of energy. Energy sources are where we get the energy we use everyday to make our lives more comfortable and convenient. An example of this is the energy we receive from the sun comes in the form of radiant energy. We call this resource (source) solar energy. Quickly explain how this sheet is used by students. Don’t spend too much time on it.

Most of the energy consumed in the U.S. is stored in the form of !

Take note…

chemical energy

provides us with the greatest amount of energy when considering renewable energy sources.

Take note…

Biomass

provides us with the greatest amount of energy when considering nonrenewable energy sources.

Take note…

Petroleum

provides the largest portion of imported oil to the United States.

Take note…

Canada

The top five sources of energy used in the U.S. are

Take note…

petroleum, natural gas, coal, uranium, and biomass.

Nonrenewable sources of energy make up over % of U.S. energy consumption.

Take note…

U.S. Primary Energy Flow by Source and Sector, 2010

(Quadrillion Btu)

is the energy source used to generate approximately 50% of electricity in the United States.

Take note…

Coal

is the state that mines the most coal. (HINT: Powder River Basin)

Take note…

Wyoming

is the renewable source of energy used to generate more electricity than any other renewable source in the United States.

Take note…

Hydropower

The national average cost of a residential kWh of electricity is cents.

Take note…

12

are the unit of measure used to compare how much light is produced by different types of light bulbs.

Take note…

Lumens

load refers to the electricity consumed by an appliance or device that is plugged into an outlet but not currently “on”.

Take note…

1 – Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only changed or transformed.

•Law of Conservation of Energy •First Law of Thermodynamics

2 – Energy will always transfer from high to low. 3 – No energy transfer is 100% efficient.

Energy Transfers

Electricity was not listed as a primary source of energy. It is a source – some other source of energy must be converted into electricity.

Take note…

secondary

A majority of electricity is generated by

Just like the shake light!

Take note…

moving coils of wire through magnetic fields.

READ the directions. FOLLOW the directions. READ the “What the heck?” CLEAN up and reset before moving on. BE CAREFUL!

• Hot lights and griddle. • Fire! • Hot water • Projectiles

Station Rules and Hints

Irradiated salt station in room 116! • It is NOT radioactive!

REUSE plastic bags and materials. USE water bottles.

Station Rules and Hints

Do NOT be a Carol!

Lab coats and goggles!!!
