The teacher who understands the importance of energyis often faced with the challenge of incorporating it into an alreadycrowded curriculum. This compendium provides a resource for qualitylesson plans and support materials at the elementary, middle, andhigh school levels. The materials were evaluated for their ability tomeet the educational stanedrds of the Science Framework forCalifornia public schools and for their ability to prepare studentsfor the future. Out of an initial 45 evaluated materials, 28 receivedan overall grade of B- or better and have full entries. Entireactivities were included for the four best materials. Other materialsand the evaluation criteria are listed separately. Both descriptiveand evaluative information about each piece of teaching material isprovided. Information gained from the evaluation is summarized in acurriculum rating guide that addresses teaching and learningqualities, presentation and organization, general content, andspecific energy content. Comments from evaluating teachP-s are alsoincluded along with basic ordering information. A summa:" ofsignificant: findings provides information for new curriculumdevelopment, Contains a project overview and conceptual matrices forenvironmental and energy education. A list of energy curriculaevaluated but not included and energy curricula not evaluatedconclude the compendium. (LZ)

FARMING IN CALIFORNIA
1985
Imagine you are sitting in a cropduster, a Plane that
flies close to the ground to spray pesticides which will kill bugs
or weeds.
The year is 1985 and you are flying over Watsonville,
California.
Out your window as for as
YO
Ucan see, long rows of
artichokes grow in large fields.
Squint, and far in the distance
You see crops of broccoli, lettuce and cauliflower. No trees grow
In these fields.
At the foot of the hills, though, twenty miles
distant, apple trees grow in separate fields.
Look over there,
do you see that group of farmworkers working in the hot sun?
Why do they wear scarves over their noses and mouths?
In one
field workers are weeding by hand with small hoes.
Others in a
neighboring field pick and fill small baskets with strawberries.
Each basket is placed In a box.
Each 'box is stacked onto a truck
and driven to market.
In the distance a farmer plows another large field.
The
blades behind his tractor till the soil.
He hires farmworkers for
a short time to plant seedlings.
Once all the rows of his fields
are lined with baby Plants he turns on the pump to irrigate the
crops.
There are chemical fertilizers in the sprinkler system
to help plants grow quickly.
Then before the insects can cause too
much damage, you fly by and dust these plants with pesticide os well.

ENERGY USE: THE CHINAMPAS OF XOCHIMILCO
1485
Imagine you are an eagle soaring high above the Aztec
capital of Tenochtitlan in 1485.
Look below.
Only a few miles
south, fruits, vegetables and flowers seem to burst out of a
colorful maze of rivers and dams.
Each dam is perhaps 300 feet
long and between 15 and 30 feet wide.
Soar below and land on a branch of an avocado tree to get
a closer look at what is happening.
Marigold, dahlia, corn, pepper,
bean, and tomato plants seem to OOP right out of the mud,
Here comes a flat-bottomed canoe with two men in it.
One pokes a long pole into the river and pushes down on it to
Propel the croft forward.
Do you see the man sitting next to him,
dressed in fine purple cloth wearing a headdress of longgreen feath-
ers?
Careful, sit very still on your branch; he might seeyou.
If
he does, watch out!
You could very well become a set of feathers
for his next headdress.
He's gone now...close coll.
Hold It
remain still!
Here comes another canoe; this one is loaded with
fruits and flowers bound for market.
Look, the next boat is moving
slower.
Two men are sticking baskets lashed onto the bottom of poles
into the river.
How strange.
They pull up rich, fertile mud and
plop it onto the long flat dam alongside the flowers.
They have
stirred up bugs In the water.
There goes a fish after a bug and
here you go after that fish.
Time for lunch.
Yum! It tastes good,
Quick!
Back up to that branch.
Sit still!
Another craft is
approaching.
This one tugs a floating garden of sweet smelling
herbs.
A farmer is Poking holes in the mud to plant the herb
seedlings he lifts from the floating garden.
A woman is on the
dam harvesting corn,
A little boy Is casting a net into the river
to catch fish.
These chinampas ore full of food and activity
all
year long... Today, five hundred years later, scientists are Just
beginning to unearth secrets that explain why the chinampa farms of

The Sun Is My Friend
snam
wr
Science, Art, Math Shapes
LEVEL
A
ACTIVITY IN BRIEF
The students will work with the sun's heat energy and light energy by being
able to feel and read the sun's warmth and by being able to see the results of
the sun's light energy.
OBJECTIVE
Each student will be able to identify the sun as a source of heat energy and
light energy.
MATERIALS
TIME
Tiro thenamneters. 2 pans of water.
Optional, depending on group
colored piece of construction
size, and sunny and cool
paper per student, assortment of
locations
rocks, leaves, shells or use 4A (math shapes)
LEARNEIG CYCLE
/44ARENESS - To ckeicastrate the sun's heat energy, first take the students to a
warm, sunny place in the classroom or school building.
Then take them to a
cooler place (example: storage roma) without the lights on.
As a group
activity, discuss the differences in warmth.
Let the children "guess" at the
temperatures in both areas and list these on chalkboard.
Be sure they
understand the concept of temperature and her it is measured.
(This say have
to be smolified for seasonal temperature changes.)
CONCEPT DEVELCFNEW- Now place thermometers in these too different areas.
At
a later time, retrieve the thermometers, and put the temperatures on the
board.
Allow students the chance to "read" the thermometers with help.
APILICATICN - To demonstrate the sun's
light
energy, students arrange leaves,
shells, rocks, etc. on colored paper, and leave in sunlight.
Or to reinforce
basic math shapes, have students arrange their cut-outs of rectangles, squares,
circles, triangles in same way.(see 4A)
Discuss results.
EVALUATICN - After the Application Session, ask each student what makes
buildings, classrooms, cars, homes, etc. warm besides furnaces and heaters.
Ask why or hcw the shapes appeared on their colored paper.
