This curriculum unit has been designed to remind us that the resources that we take for granted will not always be there, and that it is up to us not only to do our best to preserve them, but to find new ways to save energy in our homes, our schools, and our places of employment. This unit has given our students many opportunities to solve problems, to monitor results, to chart and graph information, and to engage in critical thinking processes. Students have been taught interdisciplinary skills, got involved in cooperative learning activities, and actively engaged in hands-on projects. We have been able to help students understand real world applications of academic skills, especially in math and science. We’ve also been able to provide opportunities to save energy and money, and to provide opportunities for service to the school and to the community. Most of all, we have achieved individual personal satisfaction which hopefully will have positive, long-term effects.
