How Do I Keep Track of My Missions?

Print this Hero Log. Tick a box for each mission, write what you noticed, and ask a grown-up to sign your certificate.

Goldstrike says“Every mission counts. Keep track of yours!”

Keep your log on the fridge or in a folder.

Part 1: My missions

Do one mission a day, or a few on a weekend. Every mission is a look, listen and notice job. When you finish, tick the box. Want the full how-to for each one? See Missions.

Done? Mission	What to do
Air Grille Check	Find the big air grille, on a hallway wall or ceiling, where the AC breathes in. Is anything in front of it, like furniture, toys or laundry? Move your own stuff away.
Warm Room Hunt	Walk through your home with a grown-up. Which room feels warmest? Which feels coolest?
Sweaty Cup	With a grown-up, fill a plastic cup with ice water. Wait about 10 minutes. Do drops form on the outside? See Cloud in a Glass.
Sunny Window Watch	Which windows get bright sun in the afternoon? Ask a grown-up about closing the curtains on hot days.
Door Detective	Notice if an outside door is left open while the heat or AC is running. Close it behind you, or remind your family.
Sound Listener	Sit still and listen when the heat or AC turns on. Do you hear a click? A whoosh of air? See House Sounds. If a sound is loud, new or strange, tell a grown-up.
Shade Spotter	Look out a window in the morning and again after lunch. Where is the shade? Did it move? See Shade Squad.
Number Reader	With a grown-up, look at the thermostat screen. What number does it show? Write it down.
Word Learner	Learn three words from Hero Words. Explain one to a grown-up.
Kind Neighbor	Make a card from Hello Cards. A grown-up helps you give it.

Leave these to the grown-ups: the outside unit, the electric box and wires, and the attic.

Part 2: What I noticed

Write or draw what you found. You can use words, numbers or pictures. Hard word help: to notice means to see or hear something and think about it.

My best question

Write one thing you still wonder about. Then look for the answer in the Why Bank with a grown-up.
