CAER News Archive: August 2006

While there is a plethora of web-based energy education in cyberspace, tracking it down and evaluating it can take more time than most people have. The CAER has gathered many energy education links into one spot. Going to: http://www.caer.uky.edu/education/education.shtml takes you to "Energy Educational Web Links," which categorizes the abundant web sites by categories:
kids,
teachers,
general resources,
US government agency sites, and
science fair energy projects.

Let us know if you have others for us to add.

Soon we will also have specific science experiment write ups for teachers based upon experiments that CAER researchers have performed for the last several years at Russell Cave Elementary, the CAER's educational outreach partner. http://www.caer.uky.edu/energeia/PDF/vol15_3.pdf

Dr. Rodney Andrews was recently elected as a new executive council member to The Consortium for Premium Carbon Products from Coal (CPCPC).This organization is focused on the development, commercialization, and promotion of technologies needed to produce high value-added carbon products from coal and coal-derived feedstocks. The consortium was established on June 1, 1998 and has experienced rapid growth.

CPCPC is an industry-driven consortium whose members propose research initiatives in areas they identify as being strategically important to the coal and carbon/graphite industries. CPCPC is currently comprised of 50 members whom represent a broad array of industries. Members include: anthracite and bituminous coal producers, manufacturers of specialty carbon and graphite products, activated carbon producers, municipally-owned water treatment facilities, anthracite filter media producers, carbon fiber and composite producers, aluminum producers, carbon black and coal tar pitch producers, battery manufacturers, coal-fired electric utilities, humic acid producers, firms specializing in coal cleaning and plant construction, and academia.
