This is a bundle of 13 lessons and activities on energy conservation and energy efficiency. Would work well in any electricity unit or for any climate change education.

In this curriculum-connected activity (Alberta, Ontario), learners will use an interactive simulator to gain hands-on experience with a wind turbine. By the end of this activity, learners will understand how a wind turbine works with changes to speed and wind direction, and be able to name and understand the function of a wind turbine's components. This activity is part of GreenLearning's Re-Energy program.

In this curriculum-connected (Alberta, Ontario) activity, learners will learn about biomimicry and how it can be used to design better products and systems to eliminate plastic waste. By the end of this activity, learners will be able to identify and describe biomimicry, understand how biomimicry is used to develop innovative design solutions that eliminate plastic waste, and think critically about a reimagined economy that takes inspiration from biomimicry.

In this activity, through guided conversations learners will identify ways that climate change is affecting the livelihood of the Inuit in the Arctic. Through inquiry, learners will examine how climate change disproportionately affects Indigenous Peoples and identify ways of taking action to address how climate change disproportionately affects Indigenous Peoples. This activity was created by consulting with Mihskakwan James Harper - a passionate Nehiyaw (Cree) man from Sturgeon Lake Cree Natio

In this curriculum-connected activity (Alberta, Ontario), learners will collect flowing water and/or sediment samples to analytically test for plastics via density separation and visual inspection. This experiment kit includes a lesson plan and plastic testing procedures, and is part of GreenLearning's Eco 360 program, which explores the concept of the circular economy through the lens of the plastic problem.

In this activity bundle, learners will conduct a general energy audit of the school to better understand their school’s energy use. This bundle includes a lesson plan, student worksheet and assessment rubric. The School Energy Audit is a part of GreenLearning's Energy Revealed program.

In this activity, students will: Learn that there are no clear and easy policy answers- there are no policies that meet all potential criteria for ‘good’ climate change policy Learn to think critically about climate policy options when they read about them in the media, and when presented by governments and stakeholders as preferred policy solutions This bundle includes a detailed instruction kit, infographic and worksheet, rubric, and a backgrounder on climate change policy in Canada. This acti

In this activity, learners will calculate how much of their study area is a permeable, semi-permeable or a non-permeable surface, and use these calculations to understand what is known as the Runoff Footprint. The kit includes a lesson plan, activity backgrounder on flooding and runoff footprints, a student worksheet and marking rubric. This activity is part of GreenLearning's Flood:ED program.

In this student handout students must match the energy storage technology (ie. flywheel) to the type of energy storage (ie. mechanical storage). Students will then answer the question What is the energy conversion of each storage type?

In this curriculum-connected (Alberta, Ontario) activity, learners monitor their plastic waste on a weekly basis for a semester and then take actions to reduce their plastic footprint. This activity is part of GreenLearning's Eco 360 program, and the kit includes: a lesson plan, student worksheet, teacher's guide and backgrounder that covers the circular economy and plastic problem.

This curriculum-connected activity kit will introduce the concept of a circular economy, its inception, application, and future. Students will reflect on the need for a circular economy, the problem of waste in the world and the flaws of the current linear economic model. This kit includes an educator guide on the circular economy and plastic waste, a student backgrounder on the circular economy, lesson plan and activity worksheet.
