In a world of rapidly-accelerating changes, from climate change to resource-driven social and economic change, it is critical we do everything within our power to minimize our energy and resource use to sustainable levels.

To help meet this demand locally, NorthWoods developed the Power for Change initiative in 2007. Combining action with education, we’re working to provide students and teachers with the knowledge and tools necessary to prepare the next generation for the energy challenges they will face in our changing world.

  • 18 interactive, inquiry-based lesson plans
  • More than 50 student hand-outs
  • Extensive background information on lesson concepts for teachers

Watt’s Your Consumption: Sample Lesson Plan
In this exercise, students learn to improve their own energy efficiency by measuring the kilowatt consumption of appliances common to the classroom and home. “Kill-a-watt” meters are available on loan from NorthWoods so that students can learn first hand how they can stamp out their own contribution to the energy crisis.
