Lesson Summary
In this activity students complete a whole school energy audit. Using their data, students calculate usage, kilowatts and greenhouse gas emissions. Students make key recommendations on how energy use could be reduced at their school. They then link their findings to home-based projects that reduce energy usage.
Learning intentions
Students will:
- recognise the relationship between energy use and greenhouse gas emissions.
- understand the relationship between watts, watt hours and kilowatts.
- understand how to apply Emission Factor figures to the calculation of greenhouse gas emissions.
- recognise where energy consumption can be reduced at their school and home.
