What is an Energy Bill (Part 1 of 2)

This collection from the Center for Renewable Energy Advanced Technological Education Resource Center (CREATE) is composed of teaching materials that highlight the first of two lessons on energy bills. Energy bills during different seasons, the features of energy bills, and other topics are highlighted. The collection is composed of six documents.

The documents include two energy bill samples, an instructors guide and answer key, a student lesson and response guide, and two standards documents. The energy bill samples explore energy bills for winter and summer. The instructors guide and answer key provides learning objectives, a lesson summary, activity and teacher notes, as well as answers for the questions in the student lesson and response guide. The student lesson and response guide provides an introduction to the topic, a list of required materials, and questions about energy bills. The standards documents explore energy literacy principles and concepts, as well as next generation high school science standards.

For orientation purposes the '508_energy-bill,-part-1---the-cost-of-energy-student-lesson-_-response-guide.pdf' PDF is included as a separate attachment and offers a sample of the type of the material included in this module.

Below is a list of the files contained within the .zip attachment. Files are listed with their file name and size in parenthesis.
