- Abstract:
The Earth Hour Game by WWF aims at raising awareness of the need to take action on climate change by limiting the use of unnecessary electricity. Learners are asked to use the arrow-keys and move a little man around trying to switch off as many this little yellow (round) lights as possible. The game is based on WWF global event organized on the last Saturday of March each year at 8.30pm in each time zone around the world, when households, institutions, businesses and municipalities are asked to turn off their non-essential lights for 1 hour.

- Abstract:
Students are introduced to the idea that energy use impacts the environment and our wallets. They discuss different types of renewable and nonrenewable energy sources, as well as the impacts of energy consumption. Through a series of activities, students understand how they use energy and how it is transformed from one type to another. They learn innovative ways engineers conserve energy and how energy can be conserved in their homes.

- Abstract:
Waste disposal has been an ongoing problem since medieval times. Environmental engineers are employed to develop technologies to dispose of the enormous amount of trash produced in the United States. In this lesson, students will learn about the three methods of waste disposal in use by modern communities. They will also investigate how engineers design sanitary landfills to prevent leachate from polluting the underlining groundwater.
