Activity Guide

Students will use a kill-a-watt device, 60 watt incandescent and CFL bulb in the class setting. After comparing brightness, heat,
costs of bulb, they will use the information provided by the teacher to compute the costs of each bulb over 8,000 hours(approx 1 year), then costs of multiple bulbs throughout the house, etc.
