Enviroweek - Energy Alternatives

The Enviroweek Sparky action encourages students to use energy smartly by “switching off” or “dressing for impact”. This resource is presented in the form of three separate but linked activities and has been differentiated into two activities, one for lower primary and one for upper primary.

Part 1 – Tune In: Students explore options for keeping comfortable in the classroom during cooler months and take personal responsibility for their comfort, rather than solely relying on classroom heating and cooling systems, and/or turning lights off during class if the amount of natural light is good.

Part 2 – Act: Students develop their own challenge and take action to save energy in their school community.

Part 3 – Share: Students share their experiences and inspire others to take action.
