Project-Based Activity on Energy Conservation

Empower students to tackle energy loss in school with this engaging project-based learning activity focusing on energy conservation and efficiency.

This comprehensive 6-8 week project challenges students to investigate how energy is used and wasted in their school environment, fostering awareness and practical problem-solving skills. Divided into five phases, the resource guides students through identifying energy inefficiencies, brainstorming solutions, and implementing changes to create a more sustainable school.

Students will collaborate in teams, conduct observational audits of lighting, air conditioning, and device usage, and design creative posters to encourage behavior change. The project culminates in a reflective report summarizing their findings and the effectiveness of their solutions.

Perfect for physics or environmental science classes, this activity aligns with core energy and sustainability topics while nurturing teamwork, leadership, and communication skills. The resource includes detailed lesson plans, observation templates, discussion prompts, and reporting guidelines, making it easy for teachers to implement.

By engaging students in real-world problem-solving, this project promotes active learning, critical thinking, and long-term environmental stewardship.
