Saving Energy

In science, we have been learning about renewable and non-renewable sources of energy.  The students discovered why energy from fossils fuels needs to be conserved. (We can't make more and burning fossil fuels adds to global warming.). We played two different games to learn the vocabulary and the concepts: zap and CO2 tag. Parents, ask your child to tell you about these games. After doing some research about ways to save energy at home and at school, the students created posters to hang up around our school.  The posters will teach the other students about ways to conserve energy and why it is so important.  I will post a few of the posters.
Remember to bring in an empty one or two litre milk carton or an empty two litre plastic pop bottle to school by Wednesday, November 27.  We will be doing a renewable energy design challenge with some guest scientists.
