🌍 School Energy Challenge Launch

Content Expertise Critical Thinking & Problem Solving 4-ESS3-1 3-5-ETS1-1

Students analyze a short teacher-curated set of visuals, utility bill snippets, and a local air-quality map to connect school energy use to pollution near neighborhood families. They hear a brief recorded or live message from the city sustainability office or utility outreach team, then co-create a class anchor chart of what they notice, wonder, and think matters most. The class closes by naming possible end users such as students, teachers, custodians, and nearby families.
