CONSERVING ELECTRIC ENERGY
INTRODUCTION
We use energy just by living. Our bodies use the energy contained in food when it
reacts with the oxygen in the air. In addition, we use energy in our daily activities by
driving cars, turning on lights, using a computer.
PURPOSE:
Students will gain an appreciation for our dependency on electricity and to learn how
regulating the rate of energy consumption makes the energy so
