What important advice about energy efficiency might our homes give?

Students explore actions and behaviours that can improve the energy efficiency of a home. To begin the lesson, students identify factors that might increase or decrease the energy efficiency of a home featured in an image. Students then use their observations to co-create the criteria for an energy-efficient home. Students use this criteria to identify actions that might improve the energy efficiency of a home described in an interview. To conclude the lesson, students create an interview with their homes to describe the important advice their homes might give about improving energy efficiency.
