Process:
Students made a short video that would be shown to the entire school body discussing steps that they can take at home to reduce their energy consumption. The video was supported by the inclusion of short powerpoint presentations that provided an introduction and rational for the schools participation in the Lights out Canada project. Students also prepared a few Family Feud based games to engage students in reflecting about their own energy consumption.
