The staff room

The Staff Room is the place where all the green learning materials are held.

Developing the lesson plans

British Gas has worked with Global Action Plan, a leading environmental agency staffed by education experts, to create the Generation Green lesson plans.

The lesson plans provide teachers of Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 3 with separate toolkits that incorporate core parts of the curriculum.

Using the lesson plans

These lesson plans are intended to be followed as a series but can also be individually integrated within your existing plans or used as the basis for after school "eco" clubs.

The Carbon Calculator

The School's Energy Carbon Calculator allows you to determine the Carbon Footprint of your school, based on the type and amount of energy that you use.
