1. The Energy Journey: Part 3 Be Energy Wise How to use electricity sensibly

2. Your Climate Cops mission To understand that everyday appliances use electricity To understand that different appliances have different power ratings To understand how power ratings affect the amount of energy used To identify how to save energy by understanding: - Why do we want to save electricity? - How will we save electricity? - How will we know weve saved electricity?

3. Activity 1: Watt is Right?

4. How do we measure electricity use? Did you know… Lots of things in our homes need electricity to work The amount of electrical power an appliance uses is measured in Watts (W) and Kilowatts (kW) 1000 watts = 1 kilowatt

5. Your mission Are you ready… Can you put the items in order starting with the one that uses the least amount of power first?

6. Climate Cops discussion So, which appliances do you think need lots of power to make them work? How long do you or your family use the different appliances every day?

7. For how long do you use the appliances? Electrical Appliance Watts (W) Kilowatts (kW) The number of hours used Electrical energy used in kWh Cooker10,000W10kW Washing machine 3,000W3kW Kettle2,000W2kW Vacuum Cleaner 1,000W1kW Microwave800W0.8kW Toaster750W0.75kW

8. For how long do you use the appliances? Electrical Appliance Watts (W) Kilowatts (kW) The number of hours used Electrical energy used in kWh Television300W0.3kW Fridge/Freezer125W0.125kW Lamp60W0.06kW Ordinary bulb40W0.04kW Games console10W0.01kW Energy saving bulb 7W0.007kW

9. POWER: we measure the amount of electrical power an appliance uses in watts (W) or kilowatts (kW) ENERGY: we work out how much electrical energy is used by multiplying the power of the appliance by the number of hours it is used for. This gives us the amount of energy used in kilowatt- hours or kWh One kWh is the energy used when one kilowatt of power is used for one hour Power vs. Energy

10. Saving energy Climate Cops quick quiz… If an ordinary light bulb uses 40 watts of power… How much energy would be used if it was on for 4 hours? If an energy saving light bulb uses 7 watts of power… How much energy would be used if it was also on for 4 hours? How much energy would be saved?

We have three energy saving light bulbs in our home. If every house fitted 3 energy saving light bulbs, it would save enough energy to run the countrys street lights for a year. The TV is left on standby.Appliances on standby dont use energy. Hot food is put in the fridge or freezer. More energy will have to be used to cool the food down. Boiling a full kettle of water to make one cup of tea. Energy and water are not being wasted.

26. Climate Cops discussion So, what have you learnt from this?

27. Activity 3: The Earth Needs You

28. Climate Cops discussion The most environmentally friendly energy is the energy we dont use. Why do you think its important that we try not to waste electricity, energy and water?

29. The reasons to SAVE energy 1. To SAVE the environment 2.To SAVE the Earths non-renewable sources 3.To SAVE money

30. 1. To SAVE the environment Image by: Thomas Picard, PocketAces Image by: Hafsah Al-AzemImage by: Selma Dredge

31. Did you know… When we go about our daily lives, using cars and planes and heating our homes, all these activities release a gas called carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide pollutes our atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is produced by power stations that generate electricity. Carbon dioxide speeds up the climate change process.

32. See how climate change works

38. Negative effects of climate change If the heat cannot escape, the Earth will warm up too much. This is called global warming or the greenhouse effect.

39. Negative effects of climate change Ice caps will melt Image by: Thomas Picard, PocketAces

40. Image by: Hafsah Al-Azem Droughts We are already seeing more droughts in many countries. Negative effects of climate change

41. Image by: Selma Dredge Flooding There is heavy rain and winds causing damage in others. Negative effects of climate change

42. 2. To SAVE the Earths non-renewable sources

43. Did you know… Most of the UKs electricity is produced by burning fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas These will eventually run out

44. 3. To SAVE money Image by: Ajay Singh

45. Did you know… Together, we could save millions of £££s on our electricity and gas bills if we didnt waste energy.

46. Energy wasting cards Working in groups, see if you can guess all the activities that waste energy. Use drama, charades or any other ways you can think of to get the class to guess the energy wasting activity on your card!

47. Can you remember all the energy wasting activities? (Space to write all the correctly guessed activities, plus any additional suggestions)

48. Activity 4: Energy Questionnaire

49. How do you use energy at home? Fill in the Energy Questionnaire Then in your groups, discuss your answers. What should you do and why?

50. Our class response Double-click on the bar chart to insert your class data.

51. Climate Cops discussion So, how could the class be more energy efficient?

52. Activity 5: Investigation Light Bulb

53. Did you remember that… POWER: measures the amount of electrical power an appliance uses in watts (W) or kilowatts (kW) ENERGY: is the amount of electrical energy that is used

54. Climate Cops discussion Do you think a light bulb uses much power? Do you think it uses much energy?

55. Investigation light bulb Ordinary light bulbs use less power compared to many other things that use electricity Energy saving light bulbs use even less than ordinary light bulbs But we have lots of lights in our homes and school We also use lights for long periods of time

56. Investigation light bulb homework Your mission: To see how much energy your lights are using in your home. To see how much energy could be saved if energy saving light bulbs were used.

57. Investigation light bulb – Follow-up If all the bulbs in your house were energy saving light bulbs, how much energy would be saved every day?

58. Did you know… If everyone fitted just one energy saving light bulb, the carbon dioxide emissions saved would fill more than 1 million double decker buses If each house fitted three energy saving light bulbs, it would save enough energy to run the countrys street lights for a year Source: www.energysavingtrust.org.uk

59. Activity 6: Whats on the Meter?

60. Quick question… What is an electricity meter?

61. Answer… Every house has an electricity meter. It records the amount of electricity used within our home.

62. Whats on the meter? Your mission: By following the top tips on The Earth Needs You poster, can you reduce the amount of electricity you use?

63. Whats on the meter? Homework follow-up When was the most electricity used? Was it in Week 1 or Week 2? What could be the reasons for this? When do you think the most electricity is used and why? - At school - At home Do you think any energy was wasted during the week? How could you have been more energy efficient?

64. Activity 7: Be a Climate Cop

65. The Climate Cops team need your help to find ways to save energy and help the planet. Use your skills of investigation to help cut down on the energy wasting activities that could be taking place in your school. Do you want to be a Climate Cop?

66. What did you find in school? (Space to capture what the children found)

67. How can we fix the problems? (Space to capture the childrens suggestions)

68. Now its time to use your skills of investigation in your home too. What about at home?

69. What did you find at home? Homework follow-up (Space to capture what the children found)

70. (Space to capture the childrens suggestions) How can we fix the problems? Homework follow-up

71. Now develop one of the following: A letter for the Headteacher about how the school can be more energy efficient A letter for your parents about how you can all be more energy efficient at home An energy saving policy for the school and your home Climate Cop training: Follow-up

72. Activity 8: Spread the word

73. Spread the word Now that you understand the importance of using energy wisely, its time to tell others too. Develop one of the following: - A suite of posters to remind everyone at home or at school of the different ways to be energy efficient - A leaflet that communicates the top tips on energy efficiency and the reasons why its important -An article for a local community newsletter that encourages people to take local action, for global effect
