This is an older me.
Windy enjoys finding patterns related to energy.
Geo loves to use his hands and work on projects.
Hi! My name is Electra. I like books with facts, e-mail from friends and music. I like facts about the wind, the stars, animals, and energy, too.
I like making music, reading, and figuring out why things work. I also like working with groups of people since it makes understanding easier. When I grow up, I want to make good money and, using the facts, help decide how to use our natural resources wisely. I want people to make the right decisions.
I learn really really fast and call it "quick-learn" - others have called it "cramming". Let me show you how. Focus your mind on reading (from the very beginning to the very end, once and as quickly as possible - no going back and re-reading, while organizing the facts along the lines of its Table of Contents). Don't worry if you don't totally understand (this is allowed in quick-learning), just try to grasp the jist of it:
“What every student should know about energy.”
This covers a whole range of energy topics and, when you are done, you will have experienced how to do a quick-learn.
OK, now you've learned one way to "quick-learn". Let's do a quick energy quiz and learn another way.
If there’s one thought to leave you with, it is that using electricity consumes resources. So remember, please “Turn out the lights, turn out the lights.”
Can you help me find more books on Energy topics that interest you so I can add them to my Recommended Reading list? Send them to the Kids Zone Channel Manager.
