Energy Revealed Program

Make Energy Visible!

Secondary, Elementary, Middle

Description

The Energy Revealed program explores ways to make energy visible in schools and in our homes. Whether learners are using installed energy metering technology, plug-in energy metering technology or no technology at all – Energy Revealed will help learners become energy efficiency experts. The program includes junior (grades 3 - 8) and senior (grades 9 - 12) streams for age-appropriate activities and resources, together with an Energy Revealed Challenge to take real world action for tackling climate change through energy efficiency! 

The Junior program provides a series of activities with accompanying videos from the Knowing Energy Video Series that explore the fundamentals of energy. These activities can be done in order that they appear to guide students progressively to learn everything about energy basics.

The Senior program activities are group by topics for students in grades nine to twelve. The activities can be completed independently or bundled together to take action.

Topics include:

  • Knowing Energy Video Series
  • Energy Efficiency 101
  • Become an Energy Efficiency Manager
  • Energy Efficiency and Climate Action

Once students have completed some or all the activities register for the Energy Revealed Challenge. This challenge provides an opportunity for students to participate in a school Earth Hour event to raise awareness about energy efficiency at their schools.
