For this challenge, we invited a local resident who has been every involved with environmental awareness in our community for many years. He drove his electric car to our school, pointed out all the physical and mechanical differences between the two and then he educated us on what our city’s Energy Connection Committee has been working at securing funding for electric charging stations around our community. We are so proud to be part of a community that is moving forward!

We asked the class to fill out the Do You Really Need It sheets after we explained it to them. Their challenge was to write five energy-using items and record how long they used it for. Once they finished that, the class had to give up one thing that used energy for the day such as screens. When they handed them in, we looked them over and took pictures of the best ones. It was a really fun challenge that we all enjoyed!

My friend and I researched food waste facts and printed them onto the cards as questions. Then we made a game board from cardboard and paper. We also made a life-o-meter to measure your lives. So how you play is one person asks a question about food waste and the other person replies with an answer. If they get it right, they move the amount of spaces written on the bottom of the card. If they get it wrong, they lose one life on the life-o-meter. You play as one whole team. You win by reaching the end and you lose by losing all your lives.
