Energy Conservation

1. View the energy-conservation powerpoint.
2. As a group, brainstorm ways to reduce BC’s energy wast using the ideas you researched earlier. Together, develop one strategy. It can be political, social, media, education etc.  You will be presenting to the citizen at a “Town Hall” meeting (our class) during tomorrow’s class. You may present in any convincing format you like. As a group, answer the energy-waste-questions.

Household Electricity

1. Compare your energy and power in how-powerful-am-i.

2. In groups of 2 or 3 create a Household Electricity Collage with labelling included.

You can use a site such as fotor.com to create your collage. Research the information required and add the needed text to each picture.

a.     Electrical outlet – label each slot on the outlet with neutral, hot and ground including the voltage of each

b.     Read the household meter and record in kW.h

c.      Title the circuit breaker. Show which direction a switch would  flip (open) if the circuit was overloaded.

d.     Show the electrical wires entering the home

e.     Title the device requiring electricity. Find an image of how it is wired and include this in your collage.

Save the image and add to your edublog following the steps below.

Create a new post:

a. Title – Household Electricity collage

b. “Add Media”

c. Category – Science 9; and portfolio if you would like

d. Tag – BrandsmaElectricityCollageBlockA or BrandsmaElectricityCollageBlockC

Quiz and Conservation Intro

1. Electricity Quiz
2. Research – why is electrical conservation necessary and how could people be encouraged to use less? Be prepared to share next class in a small group. Consider political, social, media or education avenues for encouraging a reduction in BC’s energy waste.
3. Homework: Take 5 pictures:
   1. electrical outlet
   2. household meter (outside)
   3. circuit breaker
   4. where electrical wires enter your home (if visible) or another home nearby
   5. something requiring electricity that isn’t light.
