Grade 9 Activity Sheet on Carbon Emission

Activity 2: How Big is your Carbon Footprint?

Objectives
 At the end of the activity, you should be able to:
- calculate your personal carbon emission.
- take an action to lessen the carbon emission in various ways.

Materials
 Carbon Footprint Checklist
 Manila Paper, Marker, Crayons

Procedures

1. Each member will answer the Carbon footprint checklist (see attached checklist) and compute each
carbon emission. Get the total score and see the description of your score.

2. Each group should present a line graph on Manila paper. (Note: Use crayons to represent each
member’s carbon emission. Get the group’s over-all score of carbon emission.

a. Which member has the highest carbon footprint? _______________________________

b. Which member has the lowest carbon footprint? _______________________________

c. What is the average carbon footprint of the group? _____________________________

d. What is the highest source/s of carbon emission of the group? _________________________

e. What is the lowest source/s of carbon emission of the group? __________________________

3. Each group should choose the top 2 highest sources of carbon emission. Then, the groups will provide
ways to lessen the carbon emission.
