This blog details a report I did on ways to change your driving techniques in order to save gas or increase your gas mileage. It inculdes a written report, a PowerPoint presentation, and an Excel spreadsheet representing the ways I kept track and calculated my data.
I thoroughly enjoyed doing my energy conservation project. I learned a lot about how I can change my lifestyle habits in small ways to help conserve our natural resources in the long run. The project gave me good prospective of what to expect from a project like this if I ever decide to assign something similar to my own students.
After presenting my results about improving my gas mileage to my 8th grade students, they seemed like they were very interesting in trying it out for themselves (they are just old enough now to have a permit). Although I have yet to review my video presentation, the students seemed very interested throughout the whole presentation, which led me to believe that my PowerPoint presentation I put together wasn't all that bad. Hopefully that was the case.
Overall, I learned that changing my driving can indeed improve my gas mileage, which conserves a lot of other things like money, resources, and possibly my life. I'm much more relaxed behind the wheel now and I laugh at people who speed by me but end up stopping at the same stop light I do.
