What can we learn from our habits check?

This lesson is one in a series that supports and guides pupils through an energy audit of the school.

Pupils will use their maths skills to collate the data collected during their Habits Check of the school. They will then use this information to inform them in developing an awareness-raising campaign to reduce energy waste in the school.

Learning objectives

Pupils will use basic maths skills to collate data collected during the Habits Check.
