Warm-Up: Check out current competitors, What are the numbers that you got?

Efficiency?                    Power?

#1 Hand in Wind Turbine lab

#2 Take out home assessment survey

#3-How is electricity Measured for appliances

Watts= Amps X Volts

Kilowatt= The usage over time   Watts/1000 * Time (hours)= KWH * Cost     =Total Cost

Lets go look at what an appliance uses for energy and the cost for using it for 2 hours.

#4 How is electricity measured for a bill (Take a look at Mr. Landers bill)

#5 Let’s look for vampires!

Energy Vampire video

#6 How can reduce our energy footprint?

1. Behavioral Change   2. Technological change

Energy Conservation (see if you can spot the difference)
