Home Energy Audit
I use this project on a unit on sustainability. It is a home energy audit where the student starts by examining their own electric bill and then goes through their house to determine how much each light, appliance, and other items contribute to their bill. The student then has to determine how close their actual electric bill is to their calculations and why it might be off. The purpose is to expose them to the amount of energy used and what the major "power hogs" are. The final part of the

Comparison and Contrast Environmental Assignment
While I created similar compare-contrast papers for one of my classes, this assignment takes the method a step further by having students give a persuasive speech based on their comparisons.

In essence, she created an assignment that is more true-to-life than most high school writi
