GreenLearning

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 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, 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?
