Living Wise Unit

We are embarking on a unit that is a culmination of three subjects we have been learning about through out the year: water, energy and the environment.

Each student should have brought home a letter to parents regarding the unit, two workbooks, a survey scantron and one kit.

Each day we will be addressing two to three sections, to which students will have nightly homework. They will be assessing how much energy the old appliances consumed compared to the new adaptations students will be installing. Everything that the students have been given is theirs to keep, including the attachments, Teflon tape and booklets.

Students are to be supervised by a parent or guardian as they perform the various experiment/activities.

There is a website for Living Wise that offers additional information. It is temporarily experiencing difficulties but should be up and running soon.

Parents: Do you feel that this has been a worth while unit?
