This is a web resource about the symbols used on appliances and devices to indicate energy saving and energy rating. It provides a teacher guide and a student activity that prompts the student to carry out internet searches for images using the search terms 'energy saving' and 'energy rating' and to compare the results for each search. The activity also requires students to design a symbol or rating for an energy efficient product. The teacher guide suggests the activity be accompanied by class discussion.
