Get set Up in 8 Minutes:

1) See how MeterHero engages students and leads to real impact

Check out the 97 second launch video, exemplar student projects, and the final project templates.
*Note: All of these items are already linked within the slides that you’ll show in class.

2) Understand how MeterHero works in class

Each lesson is ready to go with minimal prep time and follows this rhythm:

• A) Show Slides: All instructions and links to materials are included

• B) Optional Graphic Organizers: Students edit template documents as they investigate their real data

• C) Enter Results Into the Dashboard: Students log in, click their meter, and fill in their Project Plan

3) Understand Options for Students Without Access to Meters at Home

MeterHero is engaging because it empowers students to analyze their own real utility data. However, because it is real-life, some students who live in apartment buildings, on wells, or who are navigating housing instability might not have access to water meters at home. Click below to see the many different strategies, like school audits, that teachers have developed over the years to make sure these students can participate.

4) Choose When you Want to Implement MeterHero

Because MeterHero empowers authentic inquiry with students’ real utility data, it aligns well with the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) standards.

Note: *MeterHero doesn’t need to take up much class time. Ideally, students have three weeks to work outside of class to collect baseline data, experimental data and report out their findings.

MeterHero is ready-to-go.
