After completing their unit on the impact of electricity and magnetism on society, our Grade 10 science students took their learning to the next level by applying it to real-world issues. Through a service-as-action project, they worked in groups to tackle energy consumption and efficiency within our school community. Their objectives included researching and collecting data, identifying energy hotspots, assessing renewable energy options, and exploring alternative power solutions. By doing so, they aimed to deepen their understanding of electricity and magnetism concepts, develop a sense of responsibility towards sustainability, inspire their peers to become agents of change, demonstrate the relevance of science education, and ultimately, generate cost savings for the school and set a precedent for future sustainability initiatives.
