Energy, food, and you
1979
Abstract: The concepts of conservation, environmental education and nutrition are linked using energy as a common denominator in this interdisciplinary curriculum guide for secondary students. Learning activities are organized in 4 sections: Global Food and Resource Needs; Basic Characteristics of Energy; Energy and the U.S. Food System; and Energy-Efficient Nutrition. Throughout, students learn how to trace the flow of energy and use energy resources more efficiently. Energy is discussed in terms of renewable vs. finite resources, food policy, food habits, modern agriculture, processed foods, calories and essential nutrients. Sample activities include "Where Have All the Resources Gone?", "It Takes Energy to Obtain Energy," "Garbage, Its Possibilities!", and "A Guide to Food Labeling." All activities are also listed by academic subject area.
