Teri- This sounds like a great project! Please feel free to adapt the one-stone challenge to the classroom. E-mail me at preservetrad@gmail.com for more classroom ideas (I’m an instructional designer by profession). Another idea you might consider – save change for a solar oven. It’s cheaper than a windmill, and you could cook healthy, electricity-free snacks as a class. I found mine at http://www.solarovens.org/.

This is great, I would like your permission to adapt it to my classroom. I was thinking of “dropping a stone” for biology, too, after all many of my kids are too heavy as well as myself. I thought we could chart our ‘un-usage’ and gather change for a windmill. It may take a couple years but every kid has loose change and I want to let them make a difference. thanks againfor the page.

You refer to my “nice list of calculators”?! That is certainly not the point of the table you linked to.

Hmmm…. that fridge-replacement project is starting to sound perhaps even better.

I can’t imagine the amount of research it took to put together that rock pile of stats. I envy you for all that you learned on the way.
