Teacher guide Activity: make an energy saving book

TLF ID M014391

This is a web resource about conserving energy that provides a student activity accompanied by a teacher guide. The activity requires students to each design a one-page document exploring an idea for saving energy, and then to combine their documents to create a class energy saving booklet. A student worksheet provides activity instructions, including a list of energy saving ideas. The teacher guide suggests that the activity be initiated with a class brainstorm of energy saving ideas.
