We use energy every day—for lights, computers, heating, and even video games. But have you ever thought about where that energy comes from and how much of it we waste? In this video, students will explore how everyday energy use affects the planet—and how small changes can make a big difference.

From power-hungry classrooms to long, hot showers at home, we’ll look at real examples of where energy is used—and where it’s wasted. Students will learn how saving energy helps reduce pollution, protect resources, and slow down climate change.

Then, students will take on the role of energy-saving experts by writing a procedural guide with clear steps to help others reduce energy use at home or school. Using action-based instructions, they’ll create a list of realistic tips, draw matching visuals, and inspire others to make more sustainable choices.
