Energy in Ireland - Classroom Materials

 

Our new series of videos teach kids about Ireland's energy use and shows them how they can take climate action!

Watch now: Energy in Ireland animations

For kids aged 12-15

This series of animated videos based on energy data from SEAI’s ‘Energy in Ireland’ report are a result of collaboration between the SEAI Statistics and SEAI Education & Youth teams, with external input from teachers and education specialists.  

The videos have been released today to mark National Science Week hosted by Science Foundation of Ireland, which this year asks people to consider what it means to be human in today’s world, and how the decisions we make today, will impact humans of the future.   

Energy In Ireland is SEAI’s annual Report which presents the latest official statistics on our Energy Use. In these videos our aim was to take some high-level statistics and make them accessible to young people.  

The videos have been designed to be used in a classroom environment or to be watched independently.  

For teachers, we will also be releasing related content for teacher-led classroom-based activity and further reading on accessible language summarising the key learnings from the videos for teachers and students.
