To expand on our established partnership with the National Energy Education Development (NEED) Project, we recently added a multi-media component to our Children's Energy Education Program. This media content and lesson supports are provided at no charge to all public, private and independent elementary and middle schools that receive electric service from LG&E or KU. NEED offers training, technical assistance and support to these schools.

The multi-media content, provided through the Library Video Company's Safari Montage web server, hosts the following online streaming video content:

• All About Heat (Energy for Children Series: Grades K to 4)



• All About the Conservation of Energy (Energy for Children Series: Grades K to 4)



• All About the Transfer of Energy (Energy for Children Series: Grades K to 4)



• All About the Use of Energy (Energy for Children Series: Grades K to 4)



• What is energy? (Energy for Children Series: Grades K to 4)



• Electromagnetic Energy (Energy in Action Series: Grades 5 to 8)



• Energy Resources: Use and Conservation (Energy in Action Series: Grades 5 to 8)



• Heat and Chemical Energy (Energy in Action Series: Grades 5 to 8)



• Mechanical Energy (Energy in Action Series: Grades 5 to 8)



• Nuclear Energy (Energy in Action Series: Grades 5 to 8)



• The Transfer of Energy (Energy in Action Series: Grades 5 to 8)

Each 23-minute video is correlated to Kentucky Core Content, offers pre- and post- assessments for students as well as a teacher's guide that includes a summary of the video, key vocabulary, pre-viewing discussion questions, questions for comprehension, follow up questions, follow up activities, as well as suggested internet and print resources.
