PRODUCT SUMMARY
Since fossil fuel supplies are limited and energy consumption is rising globally, it is essential that children understand that they can play as important a role in energy conservation as their parents and teachers do. All About the Conservation of Energy teaches kids that by carpooling with friends, riding their bikes, turning off lights when they leave a room and recycling, they are helping to reduce energy consumption. Young viewers will learn that renewable resources like the sun, wind and moving water are all promising energy resources, although each has drawbacks. Kids will also discover that garbage, a kind of biomass, can be an energy resource, too! Included is a fun activity that encourages conservation by allowing kids to try their hand at composting. Part of the Energy for Children Video Series. Includes a Teacher's Guide.
