Join the investigation!
With the help of Inspector 00Watt and his Toolkit full of scientific investigations, games and experiments, show your students how they can become conservation ambassadors.
This project, spread over five weeks*, helps students:
- learn how hydroelectricity is generated
- understand how much energy we consume
- find ways to avoid wasting energy
* Plan about 2 hours of activities per week. You will need the Toolkit's contents to conduct activities during the first four weeks.
See what's in the Toolkit
The 00Watt Classroom Toolkit uses a playful, interactive approach that meets the objectives of the MELSQ's Québec Education Program.
Reserve now, the number of toolkits is limited!
