Well, that was easier than I thought. The website is http://www.kidsactonenergy.com/
But it looks like they just send the information to the teacher (DVD and lesson plan). They also have a speaker's bureau. Maybe Scott Tess (The Urbana Sustainability Coordinator) could be the speaker?
The website also says it is geared to K-6, although he said he was looking at MS. I don't think the middle schools want Louis the Lightning Bug or Sniffy the Sniffisourous!
Each Kit Contains:
• Two 13W compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs)
• 1.75 gpm showerhead, chrome finish
• 2.0 gpm kitchen aerator
• 1.0 gpm bath sink aerator
• Hot water temperature card thermometer
• Energy pursuit activity worksheet
• Two 13W compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs)
• 1.75 gpm showerhead, chrome finish
• 2.0 gpm kitchen aerator
• 1.0 gpm bath sink aerator
• Hot water temperature card thermometer
• Energy pursuit activity worksheet
anyway, if you are interested, let me know the parameters you would be interested within and I will get him working on a proposal.

6th grade covers alternative sources of energy and 7th grade covers electricity and magnetism. The format of the presentation is what I am wondering about...whole school assembly? Visits/talks to individual classes?

Would there be any interest in having Ameren Illinois come into middle school science classes and giving a talk on energy efficiency? As part of the talk, they also give each kid a box with energy efficiency stuff they can take home and use. It probably has CFLs, faucet aerators, and a few other things. This is a standard program they have for schools. The director of sustainability in Urbana is looking at having a competition between the middle schools of Champaign and Urbana to see who does this the most (or something along those lines). They are trying to get funding so there is a prize too! I know you all are busy just trying to cover the curriculum. Any thoughts?
