Introduction to Energy Efficiency – Exit Ticket

Summary

Introduction to Energy Efficiency Exit Ticket: Reflection on Energy Use and Efficiency

The Introduction to Energy Efficiency exit ticket asks students to reflect on the difference between using less energy and using energy more efficiently. This short written response helps students synthesize lesson concepts and demonstrate understanding of efficiency, trade-offs, and real-world decision-making.

Teachers can use the exit ticket as a formative assessment to check for conceptual clarity and identify misconceptions before moving into more advanced energy topics. The prompt reinforces the central idea that efficiency is about smarter design and better decisions, not simply reducing activity.

This reflection supports the Introduction to Energy Efficiency lesson, including the hands-on activity and data analysis tasks. Teachers may also want to explore Energy Resources and Trade-Offs as a follow-up discussion or extension activity.
