On December 1st, Lower School students went on an extraterrestrial adventure as The National Theater for Children presented “Space Station Conservation,” a show sponsored by Duke Energy that teaches about energy.
“Harmonica Mars works for NASA, plays a mean harmonica, and, oh, that’s right – she lives on MARS! But it’s high time Harmonica leaves the space station to get back to Earth. Before she can go, esteemed astronaut Sally Tide has a mission for her: Harmonica must find the Energy Kit, a collection of items which will help Earthlings (and Martians) conserve natural resources.
There’s only one problem: Sally Tide believes the Energy Kit has fallen into the hands of Bile, a little alien with a big grudge against saving energy. It’s up to Harmonica to learn all she can about energy and natural resources, or else she won’t have enough fuel on her ship to get back home!”
Harmonica and her friends learn about energy and resources, leading them to find the kit and make it home. They learned what energy is and how energy is used, wasted, and conserved.
Sign up here to receive your own Energy Kit, which includes the following: Energy Efficient Light Bulbs, Energy Efficient Shower Head, Energy Efficient Limelight Style Night Light, Bathroom Faucet Aerator, Water Flow Meter Bag, Combination Pack Switch/Outlet Gasket Insulators, Teflon Tape Used for Installing the Shower head/Faucet Aerator, Hot Water Gauge Card, Duke Energy Labeled DOE Energy Saver Booklet, Duke Energy Supplied Product Information/Instruction Sheet, Glow Ring Toy.
Over the past four years, NTC and Duke Energy programs in NC “have saved 35,000,000 kilowatt hours, which is equivalent to the electricity used in 2,202 homes for one full year. Now that’s a difference you can see from space!”
