You Have the Power: An Action Guide for Energy Efficiency

This guide offers an opportunity to engage students in a service-learning process that integrates many academic standards as they investigate the energy sources around them through an onsite energy audit. Based on their findings and further information about renewable and fossil fuels, they will develop a plan to recommend reasonable changes and then move to taking action. Students will engage in reflection, as this solidifies their learning and establishes personal and effective connections to what they are discovering. The section on demonstration allows students to consider all of the service-learning stages they have experienced and develop ways to tell their stories.
