Teachers are talking about Power Smart for Schools

On Dave's Conservation Challenge:

"The Water Week activities were appropriate for all of the grades I was teaching. I teach Home Economics, so while the activities were geared more for the Science curriculum, I found that they were great for all types of classes. We had very good discussions around how we use water and why it should be conserved even though we have plenty of water available to us here in Canada. My colleagues and I felt that it was an important subject to discuss in our Foods classes as water impacts our daily lives in more ways than the students realize."

About Dave's Conservation Challenge

This past October, we challenged grade 4 to 7 classrooms across the province to test their power smarts with a weekly electricity-themed video quiz.

For completing the quiz, teams were entered into weekly draws for a chance to win education resources and games. The teams with the highest overall score at the end of October were entered into a grand prize draw for a school visit from BC Hydro and Science World.
