Talking about the environmnetal effects of electricity is a great way to expand the unit. Did you know tha schools spend more on electricity than on computers and textbooks combined. You can also talk about the fossil fuels| needed to produce our electricity. You can talk about the problems associated with fossil fuel use (pollution and and the fact they are non-renewable) - bring this to a discussion of solutions (renewable energy and energy conservation). There are some great resouces offered through the Energy Star (www.energystar.gov), US Department of Energy (www.eren.gov), The Earth Day Network | |
(www.earthday.net). A comprehensive program that can also raise money for your school is offered through the Earth Day Network and Earth Day New York - The Bright Light Energy Saver Fundraiser. Promotes energy efficiency, environmental awareness, and earns money for your school.
