This free booklet for Grades 2-5 provides nine games designed to reinforce learning about the ten major energy sources, renewable vs. nonrenewable energy, and ways we use resources to power human activities. Kids will play Energy Bingo, Energy Pictionary, matching and memory games, and solve energy-related math problems to earn Energy Bucks. It's completely turn-key -- just print and mount on cardboard. This resource accompanies the NEED Project's Primary Science of Energy curriculum materials. See Related Materials for a link to the Teacher's Guide.
The NEED Project is a national initiative to bring innovative curriculum materials in energy education to teachers and learners from the primary grades through college. Editor's Note: These games would provide a great culminating activity after completion of the Primary Energy investigations in the classroom.
