High SchoolThese lessons are suitable for grades 9-12. Spotlight On: How Saving Energy Keeps the Earth a ‘Cool’ Place to LiveBy Mark Ziesmer
Sultana High School, Hesperia Unified School District In this lesson students are introduced to concepts such as electromagnetic radiation and the greenhouse effect. In addition, students gain an understanding of the correlation between burning fossil fuels and greenhouse gas concentrations in the Earth’s atmosphere, and how energy conservation can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. How Big Is Your Footprint?By David Casey, Analy High School, West Sonoma County Union High School District, CA
In this lesson, developed by a Green Schools teacher, students grades 8-12 increase their awareness of the impact of their choices on the Earth by studying the ecological footprint concept. They also learn how to calculate the mean, median, mode, and standard deviation of a set of data. Watt Does It Cost to Use It?By Mark Ziesmer, Sultana High School, Hesperia Unified School District, CA Energy Efficiency AmbassadorsBy Terry Blanke, Eisenhower High School, Rialto Unified School District, CA
In this project based lesson, developed by a Green Schools teacher, students in grades 9-12 research energy conservation devices, build a demonstration project incorporating a device, and display it at an elementary science fair. Exploring a Teaching Career Through an Energy LessonBy Terry Blanke, Eisenhower High School, Rialto Unified School District, CA
In this project based lesson, developed by a Green Schools teacher, students in grades 9-12 research energy and the need for conservation, develop a lesson plan on energy for elementary students and teach the lesson. Conservation for the AgesBy Terry Blanke, Eisenhower High School, Rialto Unified School District, CA
In this project based lesson plan, developed by a Green Schools teacher, students in grades 9-12 learn about various types of energy and the need to conserve energy, write a children's story about saving energy, and read their energy books to elementary students. Energy Efficient HomesStudents will analyze the factors that influence the energy efficiency of a home design, including site analysis, home orientation, configuration, envelope, space planning, ventilation, heating, cooling, lighting and appliances, water heating, and waste management.
Measuring the Number of Calories in SunlightIn this lesson, students will determine the amount of heat available from the sun in his/her area, compare the absorption of solar energy among different collectors, and offer explanations for discrepancies between the data collected and the solar constant.
To Conserve or Not to ConserveIn this lesson, students present original ideas about how energy is wasted at home/at work and develop/present a program on how to conserve energy in a specific area. Although the sources used to create this lesson are outdated, there are still many great data-collection charts and thought-provoking experiments.
Generate Your Own HydropowerIn this activity, students will generate their own hydropower -- demonstrating how water power is coverted to electricity.
Carbon Dioxide TrendsStudents graph data to examine seasonal and long-term atmospheric carbon dioxide trends over the past 45 years and then predict future carbon dioxide emissions.
