This publication is the teacher's reference of a series of three energy education publications. This teacher's reference handbook provides background information and some materials to aid the teacher in using the activities in the other two publications. The many charts, graphs, and illustrations are designed to provide the teacher with graphic ways to assist students in understanding energy problems and concepts. The looseleaf construction of this publication will enable the teacher to remove specific pages for reproduction. Topics discussed in the twelve chapters of this publication include the energy conservation ethic, definition of energy, selected forms of energy used by man, future capital requirements for energy, and energy conservation in agriculture. Chapter 10 is a glossary of energy terms. Chapter 11 lists some selected sources of energy information. (MR)
