School Energy Managers – Secondary

Description

Grades 9-12

High school students get a first-hand glimpse at career applications and managing their energy use as they explore efficiency and conservation in this set of hands-on activities. The unit has been designed to reinforce student knowledge about energy sources and efficiency and conservation, while students assume the role of an energy manager to monitor school energy consumption data and change behaviors. School Energy Managers serves well as the classroom education component of a total energy management plan for secondary schools. Students will explore thermal energy and insulation, vapor barriers, ventilation, electricity, and lighting, as they analyze their building and develop comprehensive management and conservation plans for their buildings. The kit includes a Teacher Guide, a class set of 30 Student Guides, and the tools and materials necessary to conduct the activities.

Student and Teacher guides are available for free PDF download.
