True or false? Teacher’s notes This simple ‘true or false?’ quiz covers various aspects of energy use and its impact on the environment. Students will have to apply their knowledge to make educated guesses as to the correct answers. Students could work in teams to answer the questions, with one vote per team, so that they have to reach a consensus for each answer. The answers could be written down by students or recorded by a show of hands and tallied up on the classroom whiteboard. Carbon Footprint Toolkit www.bp.com/bpes/cft2009
