Activity Ideas:
Idea #1: Come up with your own Energy Out Event! Create your own energy savings plan for your school or learning environment (e.g. if you are a homeschooler group, etc) using your school or learning environment’s energy metering system. Work with the facility team at your school or learning environment to monitor your school's energy usage.

Idea #2: Use your investigative skills to search and find devices, electronics and/or appliances in your classroom, school or learning environment to understand the amount of kWh, greenhouse gases and cost per year it takes to use them. Use a watt meter to determine energy values or conduct research on specific devices, electronics and/or appliances, then use GreenLearning’s Electrical Energy Calculators. Finally, come up with an energy savings plan!
