ENERGY CHALLENGE FOR JOTA JOTI FOR FUN

Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all

JOTA-JOTI stations operating without tapping local electrical mains, using batteries, windmills and solar panels for electricity instead. Participants will be encouraged to post stories, photos and videos of their stations in action as they minimise their environmental impact

Considering sustainable development Goal 7 The First Activity Suggested for JOTA

THERE IS MORE TO DO

A CHALLENGE ENERGY

HERE YOU HAVE THE ACTIONS TO BE MADE

ON JOTA JOTI AND BEYONDFOLLOW THE İNSTRUCTIONS

A.2: Food Chain Drawings

To learn about local food chains and their role in the carbon cycle. Downlead food chain photos make a poster and discuss on them you may play throw the string game

A.4: Sun Beams (p.56)

To understand the how the Sun influences life on Earth. Talk about Sun beams, water and soil to find out how we have food and ask them to make a sun mobile or a drawing or make a comment

A.4: Sun Beams (p.56)

To understand the how the Sun influences life on Earth. Talk about Sun beams, water and soil to find out how we have food and ask them to make a sun mobile or a drawing or make a comment

B.1: Energy Generation Model p(64)

To understand how electricity impacts the environment and how a renewable energy technology works. Make a poster and What types of energy are used in your country? Are there hydropower plants, wind turbines, and/or nuclear power plants? Draw a map of your country and mark the different types of energy usage in each region pr,nt the photo Cut it peaces and sticj oy your country map

B.3: Energy Game (p.65)

To learn about different energy resources. This game is a variation of the ‘Bean Game’ using different motions for different sources of energy. For this activity you need a big room or outside space and designate one person to be the caller. And one photogtrrapher Begin by walking or jogging around the area. The caller says one of the energy sources, and then all of the players take the appropriate action: Coal – curl up in a ball on the floor, Hydro – run around being a river/backwards and forwards being a wave (can do both depending on age), Solar – sunbathe, Gas – hold nose, Nuclear – cross arms in front of you and 'vibrate' around room, Geothermal – crouch down and warm hands on floor, Biofuel – pretend to be a plant/a cow

C.1: Routine Energy (p.59)

To learn about different energy resources. What is energy? Try to explain what energy is in your own words. On a piece of paper, write or draw some of your activities that you do every day (e.g. eating, brushing teeth, walking to school, taking a bus, playing football, doing homework, singing and dancing, watching television, washing dishes, cooking dinner, etc.). Which forms of energy do you use for your different activities Make drawings

C.2: Electronics-Free Challenge

Lots of young people throughout the world spend an increasing amount of time each day using electronics including mobile phones, computers and televisions. How much time do you spend using electronics each day? For this challenge, you will set aside one hour each day (this must be after school) where you promise to engage in activities that do not require electricity. C.02:take a photo on a game

C.4: Energy and Gravity(p.58)

FFor this demonstration of potential energy, kinetic energy, and gravity, you will need a small toy car (or a small ball or other object that rolls) and a surface that you can use as a ramp. Rest or hold the small toy car at the top of the ramp. At the top of the ramp, the object has potential energy. Give the car a small push so that it rolls down the ramp. The force of your push converts the potential energy (stored energy) in the car into kinetic energy (moving energy). In this case, the force of your push and the force of gravity convert the ball’s potential energy into kinetic energy. What other examples of energy and gravity can you think of? Try to think of other ways that you can demonstrate and visualize kinetic and potential energy. Learn more using slides and swings:

D.1: Creative Energy (p.67)

To stimulate creative thinking about new types of energy technologies. Let your imaginations run wild and write a short story that involves an innovative way of generating electricity. For example, people can pedal this energy bike to power an mp3 player and a light bulb: or if you are using bo electricity from net a photo counts for this task

D.3: Globe Game (p.67

To understand how people are linked to one another throughout the world.Think about how you are connected to other countries. Where were your clothes made? Where does your food come from? Where does your energy come from? Once you have done some thinking and discussing, you are ready to play! You will need an inflatable globe. Stand in a circle and take turns throwing an inflatable globe to each other. When you catch the globe, point to a country to which you have a connection, and say what that connection is to the group. Examples are: “the cereal I had for breakfast was made from rice from China”, “my shirt was made in India”, or “my favourite football player comes from Mexico”. An alternative way to play this game is to use a ball, and to come up with a country example without the help of the globe

E.2: Earth Hour (p.70)

To motivate activism for sustainable energy use among family and friends. Promise to join next earth hour and make a earh hour photo like this one Write your promise on paper

E.4: Energy Saver Reminders (p.71)

Make energy savings reminders that you can post in your home, school or group meeting place. Write reminders such as ‘turn off the lights’, ‘unplug electronics when not in use’, ‘turn off the water when you brush your teeth’, etc. on post it notes, index cards or small pieces of paper. Post the reminders near light switches, electronics and sinks.

E.5 Energy art show

Energy Art Show [1.2.3] Make art projects that you can display somewhere in your community, such as in your school, a library, hospital or recreation centre. You may choose to make art relating what kinds of energy you want to have in our future world. Or you can also choose another energy theme. You may choose to paint pictures or to make art by reusing materials that could otherwise be recycled. When you display your artwork, be sure to include some information about why energy is important.
