SAVE: Steps in Achieving Viable Energy—Leader Guide: 4H EGL 60/4H313, 6/2014

Abstract

The 4-H SAVE project is an energy education curriculum that targets youth, ages 11 to 13. The project takes youth on a journey through the exciting world of energy.

Youth start the journey by learning about what energy is, the different forms energy can come in, and how it can transform from one form into another. Once they have mastered the forms in which energy can exist, they will search out where that energy comes from by investigating the wide variety of energy sources. The journey continues as youth investigate the various ways that energy is used, both through natural and man-made processes. Finally, the journey concludes with a closer look into the ways the world we live in is impacted, both positively and negatively by our energy use. Original publication date January 2011.
