EXPERIMENT 3

Can You Use Electricity More Wisely?

You will need: pad and pencil, and cooperation from everyone in the house.
 

 
     Get together with the rest of the family and go over the list of common electrical appliances below (of course, just the ones you have in your house); add anything pertinent you may have that is not on the list.
     Which could you use less often and still be comfortable? Put a check in the column on the chart that best describes your family’s attitude about each appliance. A simple majority could determine the family vote.
