Kilbride Subject Areas Science, Math, Social Studies, Personal Planning, Social Responsibility, Language Arts, Environmental Education, Fine Arts. Note: Lessons and activities can be used at all elementary grades. Some lessons could be adapted for secondary classes. Lessons specific to Science and Math are generally more suitable for upper intermediate grades.

A Green School is based upon the principles of Environmental Education, Global Education and Social Responsibility. The goal of a green school is to have students, staff, and parents make a commitment to environmental sensitivity and preservation. Cross-curricular lessons are designed to have students learn about environmental degradation, to raise awareness of the steps needed to protect the environment and prevent environmental catastrophes. Students will participate in a variety of lessons and activities that empower them to be good environmental stewards. Students will become aware of their responsibility to protect their local community and the global community. Parents and community will be encouraged to support the environmental goals of the school by modeling behaviours in the home and supporting environmental projects at the school. Suggested Learning Outcomes - identify key indicators of a healthy environment -be able to measure their environmental footprint and take steps to reduce it. -identify and clarify a problem, issue, or inquiry -design and implement strategies to address environmental problems and to prepare solutions. -demonstrate a willingness to work with others toward a common goal. -assess at least two perspectives on a problem or issue. -locate and record information from a variety of sources. -assess the effects of urbanization and technology on the environment. - take action to inform others about environmental protection and the programs in our school. _participate in recycling, composting, grounds enhancement and visual arts. -demonstrate environmental sensitivity in their own homes. -express their opinions of political decisions that impact on our environment and know how to take action to make their views known. -be familiar with the vocabulary of environmentalism and preservation. -be able to plan a route on public transportation and understand the value of public transportation. 1

The worksheet is found in the BC Hydro Early Intermediate Energy Education Booklet. Lesson Idea # 4 - Passion for Action: An Energy Efficiency Challenge. Outcomes Learn to measure their household energy use by reading a household meter and reports of electricity/gas consumption bills. Students will adapt and reduce their household energy consumption by monitoring and reducing the use of electrical appliances. The Passion For Action Challenge is an environmental awareness and action education program that focuses on household energy utilization and its relationship to climate change and the Kyoto Protocol. Materials Computer Internet access to calculate energy consumption. Virescens Action Lab and Workbook. Historical record of energy consumption (B.C. Hydro) Timeline: Passion For Action can take from four weeks to one year to complete the lessons and the challenge. Procedure 1. Use the Virescen¹s action lab to demonstrate the reading of electrical meters in the home. Have students calculate the electrical use of common home appliances. See 2. Contact hydro providers to provide records of energy use in the past year. Design graphs to show this information. 3. Have the students create a plan to reduce energy usage in their home. Test this out using the Virescens action lab. 4. Challenge another class or school to show a greater reduction in energy consumption. The challenge can be for as short as ten weeks or as long as a year. The goal is to inspire students to achieve a reduction of 20% of their household energy use. Extension Suggestion Include additional studies on climate change and the Kyoto protocol. 9
