• Create a poster about the types of electric vehicles
• What are the advantages and disadvantages of electric vehicles?
• Present your poster to the class

• choose three global cities of your choice (it would be good if you choose mega cities from different continents) 
• create a presentation about the public transportation systems of each
• compare and contrast them
• What are the pros and cons of the systems? (think about energy efficiency, sustainability)
• What can Canada learn from other transportation systems?

• Create a presentation about the importance of water
• How much water is available to drink?
• How much water does the average person use at home? Research. 
• Describe how families can save water at home.
• How many liters per year can a family save when following some water saving tips.

• create a presentation
• investigate various forms of transportation from Calgary to Ottawa (include in each type in your presentation)
• Use google maps to find out time, km, and energy use for each route and transportation form
• Which of the various transportation forms is the most energy -efficient? 
• What are the pros and cons of this energy  efficient route and transportation? (ex.: price, duration etc.)
• Reflect on this activity. How do you travel in general? Do you think about energy saving routes and transportation types? If yes, why? If not, why?
• Include in your presentation pictures of the transportation forms and google maps route.

• Create a presentation and include the following:
• List all electronic devices you have at home.
• Think about each electronic device and decide if it is a need or a want. Describe what is the difference between a need and a want.
• Choose three devices from your want and needs list and describe how much energy they use daily. Research required.
• Give up one device and calculate how much energy you saved on that day.  Reflect on your experience. 
• Explain why it is important to save energy in your home.
• Provide three energy saving tips to the class. 

• PRODUCE A ONE-MINUTE PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT VIDEO ABOUT WAYS TO SAVE ENERGY.
• Resarch the top five energy saving tips
• Come up with a creative idea to create the video
• You need to put a lot of effort into your video editing because the public will vote point to all videos​
