Heading: The Cost of Electricity
Learning Objective: I can calculate the amount (in kilowatt-hours) and cost of electricity used to power different appliances over the course of a day.
The Cost of Electricity worksheet HERE
Although the consumption and cost in this activity are not all-inclusive (you use so much more energy than this in one day!), it will give you an idea of the amount and cost of electricity use needed to power different appliances.
Use the three equations on the front page to calculate the cost of using each device for numbers 1-7.
Number 8 asks for the total electricity use and cost for the entire day (total numbers 1-7)
On page 3 you record your answers for 1-7, then substitute lower numbers to see how it would change your energy use and cost.
Work with a shoulder partner at your table or independently.
When finished, check your answers and get a checkmark from Ms. Ferro. Glue into notebook and do color processing.
