WHAT IS ELECTRICITY? The movement of electrons that leave their atoms and go to other atoms. Electrons are negative charged particles that are small.

Electricity flows through almost anything that is in your house. Most of the time you can't see it in your house so the most common ones you can see is lightning, sparks and

static.

HOW TO BE

● water and electricity do NOT mix!its always a good idea to keep water away from things that are plugged in.

jk&mh

● Your parents might have little plastic covers over your outlets, they are there for your protection and you shouldn't

mess with them

Don't put fingers or objects into an electrical outlet, toaster, or any other appliance, even it it's off.

Don't use appliances - and appliance cords - near bathtubs and sinks.

Don't climb trees near power lines.

How Electricity Travels MH

● Electricity travels in a loop called a circuit.●

● A circuit has an energy source and wires●● Your Home is a large energy circuit. There is a

complete circuit.

Circuit of Electricity MH

Where electricity comes from A.T.

Movement of a loop of wire or a disk of copper in the middle of a magnet. Magnet is turned by a shaft.

What uses electricity?

Almost everything in your home uses electricity.

SG

Can you think of anything else that uses electricity?

● Televisions

● Gaming systems

● Radios

● Ovens...

Light bulbs also

uses electricity!

C.X

Let me show you how much electricity one item uses!

Kilowatts● – the unit used to measure electric energy● – there are 1,000 watts in one kilowatt

Kilowatt Hour– this measurement refers to the use of 1,000 watts of electricity in one hour● 1kWh = ten 100 watt bulbs all burning at the same

time for one hour

CFL Incandescent Fluorescent LED

There are four different kinds of light bulbs. Each of the light bulbs uses different amount of electricity.

Watts: 13-15Watts: 60 watts: 6-9watts: 65

Lifespan: 8,000 hours

Lifespan: 1,200 hours

LifeSpan: 50,00 hours

Tip: Anywhere you have your lights run for a long period time and the light bulbs are incandescent change it for CFL light bulbs to use less energy and save money.

How can we save this energy we use

How can we save this energy we use?

First off, leaving one light bulb on for 4 hours is the same cost as one tootsie roll.

JE and sg

The first, and easiest way to save

electricity is by simply turning your lights

off when you leave the room, or when

you have alternative light. For example

if the sun is up light up your room that

way.JE and SG

The second way you can save energy is

by never turning up the heat on the

thermostat this winter, instead just put on a

sweater and blankets.

JE AND SG

The last tip I am going to leave you

with is take quicker showers. On

average a 20 minute shower uses

100 gallons of water. Heating all that

water takes a lot of electricity.

Be like pikachu save electricity!!

Step 1Create clear purpose- your purpose needs to include:

1. What are we doing?

2. What is the goal?

3. Why are we doing this?

4. When will we know it has been reached?-

February 12, 2013

Step 22. Delegation of duties:

Captain - This person makes sure everyones option is heard. Sets meeting times and deadlines. Meets with teacher.

Recorder- Writes emails to teacher about what is happening and who is doing what. Everyone is still emailing teacher with individual assignments

Researcher, liaison, etc. these should change as project evolves

February 12, 2013

STEP 3Timeline- break project down into smaller parts and set end times

Example parts1. create a baseline (what is being done now or the current

state of events)2. Permission- Who needs to OK this before we start3. Tentative budget- what do we need to spend and when do we need it.4. Publicity- Who can we tell. Who big can we make it?5. P.R. - How are we answering the question "why should I help?"6. Research- What is the science or facts behind this? Is anyone else

doing it? Why will it work or not work?
