Today, students will compare energy usages in different schools. In groups, students will be assigned 4 /5 similar schools. They will need to research the following information:
-the cost of an average electric bill for 2013-2014
-the age of each school
-the number of students enrolled
-square footage for each school
Use this link, then click on the individual school for the previous information.
Next, they will need to figure out why they think these schools have similar/different energy bills. How does the school age, square footage, and number of students affect the electric bill? They will write their conclusions from their research at the bottom of their data collection sheet.
