9. 9 Bespoke Education Resources Primary (Key Stage 2) and Secondary (Key Stage 3+4) resources Lesson plans designed for use with the Energy Display Meter in the classroom All created by education specialists and tested by teachers Designed to help pupils be force for change in their school

10. 10 Key Stage 2 Pupils aged 7 to 11 years become Energy Detectives developing and using survey, data handling and active citizenship skills to solve a real life issue by:- –Finding out how much electricity their school uses –Analysing and identifying areas of wastage –Creating and implementing a ‘Cut the Carbon’ action plan

11. 11 Key Stage 3 Students aged 11 to 14 years will explore the concept of energy efficiency through learning outcomes in Science by:- –Investigating carbon footprints –Testing the energy efficiency of everyday appliances –Suggesting how their findings could help reduce their school’s carbon footprint

12. 12 Key Stage 4 Students aged 14 to 16 years will use their Energy Display Meter data to support their Data Analysis coursework for GCSE Mathematics. Once completed, their data analysis booklets provide evidence for reflection and awareness raising on how their findings could be used to effect real energy savings in school.
