Through this fun drawing and coloring activity, the students can reflect on their actions and energy consumption and develop solutions to save energy. Thus, this activity represents a reflective practice.
Additional Prerequisites
The teacher must print the student handout for each student.
This resource contains additional material presented in the "Sources" section about using energy wisely and saving it for the planet.
Please be aware of your students' family life. Some students may be uncomfortable drawing or speaking about where they live. Allow your students to draw part of your school or a friend's or neighbor's house if that makes them feel more comfortable.
Differentiation
Students can be challenged to create an energy action plan in their household, with steps to reduce energy usage.
This activity can be used as part of a lesson on energy sources.
Teachers can challenge students to complete as many of the energy-saving tasks as possible within a week. They can use a chart to help them record their progress and later share their experience with the class.
