Make a Map
Start off by making a map of where you live. It doesn’t have to be perfect, but be sure to include all the rooms and spaces in your home. You can print the page we have for you, or use your own graph paper. Label each room, like “bedroom” and “kitchen.”
Optional Activity: Have students photograph the scavenger hunt items in their home and use the photos in a presentation about the items, where they were, and their connections to saving energy or water.
