1 The Energizers Of Michie Elementary School Reduce, Reuse, Recycle Advisor-Ms. Debra Steen The Energizers have had a good year this year. We have conducted and participated in many energy activities with us learning so much. This year we have encouraged energy conservation, reducing, reusing, and recycling. We have provided energy conservation tips on our Michie News site. We have new energy efficient light bulbs in the cafeteria. We have received donations for our solar panels, and parents have installed energy conservation kits saving on their power bills, promoting energy conservation and reducing our energy needs. We have reused milk cartons for planting and competitions and jeans for the homeless. We have involved our school and community in our recycling program. Encouraging recycling by participating in the Keep America Beautiful recycling contest, in which we won second place in the community division, and by making containers for recycling, and recycling aluminum cans. We have reached thousands of people. We have been recognized by Good Sports Always Recycle at a UT football game. We have been nominated for the Governor s Environmental Stewardship Award that will be announced in May. We are being honored by our county and Keep TN Beautiful at a ceremony on May 5, 2016 for our achievements. Our energy efforts in education have helped our county achieve recognition for its efforts in recycling for economic growth. We are making a change in our school, community, county, and dare we say state.
2 Re-energize Goal #1 Focus on deepening energy content knowledge Activities and Tasks: Obtain permission from advisor, take the NEED Energy poll, participate in energy activities Energy Content and Resources: NEED Energy poll, Teacher resources, Science of Energy Student Leadership: 15 students took the poll and 10 to 15 students were involved in all activities Evaluation: Energy Poll scores were an average of 70% and upon completion were an average of 97% I remember this from last year. Discovering basic electrical circuits Taking the Energy Poll Electrical Circuits with switches. This is hard. I don t know these. Human parallel and series circuits
3 Experimenting with salt and electrical circuits. We made the light come on! It really works. Adding the salt. Will it work? Our circuits are closed. We have light! The light is on! Cubelets. We connect them and it will roll, make a sound, has a light, and will rotate around 360 degrees. The right cubes have to be connected. LittleBits Circuits Plasma ball. Electricity at work. Looking inside some computers
4 Potential and Kinetic Energy Learning about solar energy. We made a solar oven and made the light and fan come on in the house. Ferris Wheel GE Engineers came and did an activity with us. We simulated an oil spill and then used different materials to see what worked best to clean it up. The Energy of Sound. Rub the handle and it makes a sound that causes the waves. Erin was great. Potential energy. Rockets ready to launch.
5 REDUCE Goal#2: To promote energy conservation by reducing the amount of energy used. Activities and Tasks: Obtain permission from the principal, consult with our advisor, obtain funds for project, obtain bids with help of advisor, do school energy audit, present findings to principal, write letter for parents, send home energy conservation survey (STAR), obtain energy kits, send home energy kits, collect data from home energy kits. Energy Content and Resources: NEED Energy Audit Kit, STAR survey, NEED Home Energy Conservation Kits, Renewable resurces. Student Leadership: 10 students conducted school audit, Presented results to principal, 2 wrote parent letters, 4 passed out parent letters and survey, 10 sent home energy conservation kits, 10 collected and analyzed data, Advisor helped us apply for donations and bids. Evaluation: Solar panel system being built and installed. Magnetic lights have been replaced. Home energy usage has been reduced. 390 students are affected by the panels, 390 surveys went home, and 86 letters went home, and the vendor is going to use the solar system to This is our cabinet being built to hold our batteries and mount our panels. We can read and LED panel to see how much energy our solar panels are producing. Students will be able to visit and study the panels as a renewable energy source. show other potential parties. Over 1000 people reached. OUR SOLAR PANELS AND CART Waiting for paint. Our solar panels will operate our pumps during the school year and fans during the summer months for our green house.. Teachers can use it to teach about solar energy all year long.
6 Cafeteria Lights We conducted an energy audit of the school. We found that in the cafeteria, an older part of our school, had 166 magnetic ballast.the Energizers presented the results to our principal and explained that replacing the lights would save the school money. Eight of the lights stayed on 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The rest stayed on from 7:00 until 5:00 five days a week. The lights were replaced two and a half weeks ago. It is too soon to examine light bills and collect data to see how much energy the change in lights will save. We will be looking at March, April and May's bills to see what difference can be seen. Reporting our school audit finding to the principal. Taking down the old magnetic ballast. Our new lights are up in the cafeteria. Everything looks so much brighter than before. These lights have the electronic ballast and should save us energy. We even got a new ceiling.
7 Home Conservation Kits Energy Saving Tip of the Week Sept. 9th at about 2:10 We sent out Energy Star surveys to our parents and we invited our 4th and 5th grade parents to install a home energy conservation kit. Most parents replaced all their light bulbs with either LED or CFL light bulbs. This is the result of our home energy conservation project. We had 10 parents to participate and we took an average of their bills from this year and last year. You can see that energy usage went down except in December. We had unusual hot weather that month and people were turning on their air conditioners. Who expects 80 degree plus weather in the winter time? Not us!
8 Puffy Stuff Milo Seeds As a part of our farm day we demonstrated to students in our school a biodegradable packaging material called Puffy Stuff. Puffy Stuff is 100% consumed by bacteria as defined by ISO. Puffy Stuff is made out of milo a plant that is grown in this area. Puffy Stuff will disintegrate when it is put in water. This packaging material is better than styrofoam packaging material that ends up in our landfill. We demonstrated to students how you can lightly wet the end of puffy stuff and create art and then we put it in water to show how it dissolves. It can be reused, put in the landfill or even hosed down in your garden as fertilizer.
9 Reuse Goal#3: To promote the reuse of items Activities and Tasks: Obtain permission from principal and advisor, contact waste management director, save milk and juice cartons, place article in newspaper, send home letters, collect recyclable materials for ornaments, collect jeans, count and find a place to donate jeans, deliver jeans, plan farm day, obtain volunteers to help Energy Content and Resources: Promote recycling, promotie design, energy conservation, local farmers and volunteers. Student Leadership: 4 students talked to principal and advisor students planned farm day and 5 helped with blue jean drive. 8 students helped deliver jeans, 2 emptied recycled containers. Evaluation: We collected over 350 pairs of jeans, our school won second in county recycle ornament contest and 4th grade won first place, farm day was a great success and enjoyed by all with recycled milk cartons and many other sustainable products. Approximately 10,000 or more reached through newspaper and Ag websites. Our project was to take milk cartons and design an animal. We had to figure out the amount of milk cartons needed. We made HAM the chimp. The first chimpanzee in space. We used 287 milk cartons We didn t win the contest but we learned a lot building him. Fourth grade recycled ornaments made out of old crochet thread, balloons and glue. Made by Milk Recycled Ornaments We participated as a school to make recycle ornaments for the trees decorated by waste management. Michie came in second in the county and our fourth grade at Miche placed 1st in their division. Several individuals won in the individual category.
10 The Energizers and the Garden Club with the help of our advisor sponsored a Michie Farm Day We contacted people in our community to set up centers for our students to visit. As part of this Farm Day students received products made from produce on a farm. We had soy crayons, honey straws, cheese made locally, puffy stuff packaging material, and handmade booms. A lot of these We collected over 1200 milk and juice cartons for reuse in our Carton2Garden competition. products are environmentally friendly, biodegradable, renewable, and recyclable. Students designed a picture about farming or recycling on a sticky paper and then peeled off the paper and placed it on their milk carton. On Farm Day students planted a tomato plant to take home and plant in their gardens. Recyclable Lunch. After we were through we could recycle all the paper and plastic products in our lunch.
11 Teens for Jeans We placed an article in the local newspaper and sent home flyers to our school parents. We collected 350 pairs of used jeans and delivered them to Smoky Mountain Children's Home to be distributed to the homeless.we collected another 50 pairs and donated them to a local charity. These jeans stayed out of the landfill and were reused by people who needed them. Through this activity we contacted over 10,000 people through paper, letters and school news.
12 RECYCLE Goal#4 To promote recycling at home, school and the community. Activities and Tasks: Obtain permission from principal, contact our county waste management director, enter the recycling contest, hold a Go Green Recycling pep rally, send notes home, enter the aluminum can recycling contest Energy Content and Resources: Renewable resources, promote energy conservation, Student Leadership: 5 students coordinated the recycle box contest for the county competition, 15 students folded parent letters, 1 student contacted newspaper, 10 students advertised on Michie News, 15 students conducted the Go Green Recycle Pep Rally, Evaluation: Don t litter sparkle like glitter won first place, we won second place in the community division of the Keep America Beautiful Recycle Bowl, over 30,000 reached Yes! We won first place! We participate in our county recycle box contest. We design and create an idea to place on a box that is judged by people outside our county. These boxes are then taped together and placed in business throughout the county. We entered five boxes in the contest. Our county waste manager liked the one with the football the best. It used a lot of recycled objects in its design. The judges chose the Don t Litter Sparkle Like Glitter as the county winner in our division. Through this project we are promoting recycling by providing containers for our community businesses.
13 R-E-C-Y-C-L-E Recycle, GO GREEN! Keep America Beautiful Recycling Bowl This year we entered the recycling bowl that ran from Oct. 15 -Nov. 15. During that time the school and community recycled 125,966 pounds which was more than 2014 by 7,690 pounds. We won second place in the community division for schools. We have received our certificate and Keep Tennessee Beautiful will present our award at a public assembly for the school and community on May 5, Then our sponsor and principal are invited to a ceremony for the county to be recognized for our contribution to the county sustainability program that evening. 390 letters home and ran in the newspapers advertising recycle contest and month. We now have three recycling trailers in our community. This trailer is the one behind our school. It stays full. Everyday parents will drop off the children and go around back and put their recycling in the trailer.we are told all the time they are glad we started our recycling program. Attending the recycling pep rally. Our recycling certificate from Keep America Beautiful. YEA! We won second place.
14 Last year we entered the Great American Can Roundup and was one of the few schools who recycled a little over 1500 pounds during the competition. We start collecting aluminum cans in November and end on April 22. With the competition ending just a week away we have 1600 pounds. That s us in Michie.
15 Good Sports Always Recycle In the fall we were nominated for the Good Sports Always Recycle Award. We received word that we would be recognized in November at a UT Knoxville football game. Our sponsor and one student traveled to Knoxville to receive our award. We were in the top ten schools in the state of TN. We were very honored by this award and display it proudly at our school. In Feb. we were notified about a nomination for the Governor's Environmental Stewardship Award. In March our sponsor submitted the documentation and we will find out the results on May 31.
