Ride Along

LO: We will investigate the fuel efficiency of our route to school, and evaluate more fuel efficient routes.

Obtain a street or road map of the route from home to school. 

Map a shorter route. 

Calculate the miles traveled, and use this information to estimate your CO2 emission from driving to school and back each day.




Then estimate how much CO2 you could save with your alternate route.

Use your conclusions to discuss how the alternate route could benefit the environment and yourself. 


DOL: Given the results of "Ride Along" I will write conclusions which earn 3 of 4 points on the STAAR writing Rubric
