• Thermometers or temperature probes
• Student Worksheets
• Internet access
• Energy cheat sheet.

NOTE: Although this activity has been created in support of the ResourceSmart AuSSI Vic program you will not meet the data goals of the program through this activity.

This activity has been created to give younger students – for whom the official energy audit would be too complex – an opportunity to participate in the energy component of the ResourceSmart AuSSI Vic program. To gain accreditation your school will still need to complete the more complex energy audit.
