Focusing on culture
How can we save energy in our daily lives
Think
There are many ways to save electricity. Once a year, people take part in "earth hour" and turn off their lights for one hour.
Let's learn more about this event.
Earth Hour
What is Earth Hour
On the last Saturday night of March every year, people around the world turn their lights off for one hour. They do this because they care about climate change. They are trying to show that small changes can make a great difference to our planet.
How did it start
The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) started Earth Hour in 2007, in Sydney, Australia. More than 2.2 million homes and businesses joined in. Even the lights at the Sydney Opera House were out for an hour. This saved a lot of electricity. The same amount of electricity could power thousands of computers or television sets for an hour. When the lights were out, the stars were clearer in the sky.
People in China liked this idea too. They started to take part in the event in 2008. Every year, many landmark buildings in Chinese cities turn off their lights for Earth Hour.
What can you do
You can take part in Earth Hour next March. Find out the date and time of the event on the Earth Hour website. When the time comes, turn off your lights and enjoy your special hour in the dark. It will be even more fun if you ask your friends, family and classmates to join as well.

Cross-curricular connection I Physical science
People around the world mostly burn oil, gas or coal to produce energy. This causes two huge problems—pollution and global warming. Countries around the world have developed different kinds of renewable energy. Let’s see what they are.
1 Read the text about how different countries use renewable energy, and then match the paragraphs (A-E) with the pictures (1 -5).

Renewable energy
A The Three Gorges Dam is the biggest dam in the world. It took more than 10 years to build. China is the country that makes the most electricity from hydropower.
B Some of the world's biggest wind turbines (涡轮机)are off the coast of Britain. Their blades (叶片) are bigger than the London Eye! One turn powers a house for around 29 hours!
C One of the biggest solar farms in Australia is on a sheep farm. Thousands of solar panels make about 200 million hours of electricity a year. They also protect the sheep from sun and rain!
D Iceland has a lot of volcanoes which produce hot water and air. So about 30% of the country's electricity comes from geothermal(地热的) energy. It's very cheap!
E The USA grows the most biofuels(生物燃料) , usually corn. Most cars there can use 10% vegetable fuel mixed with oil. Many cars can just use biofuel.

2 Discuss the questions below.
What kinds of renewable energy are used in your area What are the advantages of them
wind power
water power
solar power
Water power stations make use of the energy of flowing water to generate electricity. One big advantage of water power is that it’s a clean source of energy. It doesn't produce harmful gases like coal - fired power plants, so it doesn't pollute the air. What’s more, it’s reliable. As long as there’s a steady water flow, we can count on a continuous supply of electricity.
Notes
Notes
Solar energy is also popular. Solar panels are often seen on the rooftops of many houses. It’s extremely environmentally - friendly, as it doesn't create any pollution during operation. Another benefit is that it’s free once the solar panels are installed. It helps people save a lot on their electricity bills. Also, solar energy can be used in remote areas where it’s difficult to build power grids, bringing electricity to those places.
Step 1 Discuss the questions in groups and gather ideas.
When and where do we need to use electricity
Can we find new ways of producing electricity
How can we use electricity wisely
Step 2 Work in groups. Discuss and decide on what to include in your poster about using electricity wisely. Here is an example.
Project
Making a poster about how to use electricity wisely
How can we save electricity and make the Earth a better place Work in groups and make a poster about wise ideas of using electricity.

Step 3 Display all your posters on the classroom wall and vote for the best. You can refer to the following criteria.
