Take it Home

A resource for teachers

The Take It Home curriculum resources help students develop an awareness of energy consumption, energy efficiency and energy costs in the school and home. The activities are based around the Home Energy Audit Toolkit (HEAT), which comes with equipment to help students undertake detective activities to look for clues on how energy is being wasted. Students are encouraged to plan and take action in practical ways to save energy.
