Task
Teaching energy savings in every day life.
Description and Evaluation

From the digital alarm clock in the morning to the light we switch off before sleeping, our daily life is marked by constant use of energy. Whenever we are cooking, traveling to school, listening to music or taking a bath or shower, we are consuming energy.
IUSES will show secondary-school students the basic principles of energy efficiency and will provide a comprehensive guide to teach them how to save energy in their everyday lives.
IUSES is currently developing a behavior-oriented educational kit, including handbooks, multimedia animations and experiment tool-kit.
