Conservative Energy

In class we learned about multimeters, volts, and amps. During class we used the multimeter to measure the current flow of electrons through parallel and series circuits. We learned about the items that used the most energy in our households. Some of these items include refrigerators, heaters, and dryers. Things that heat and cool things use a lot of energy to do so. So our challenge was to lower our electricity bill per month in our household. Since I live in the dorm this challenge didn't work too well for me. But I can  try and save energy here as well, the most I can do is save money. We can all do simple things to save money such as turning off lights and fans and unplugging accessories when they are not in use. Overall it shouldn't be too hard to save your family a little bit of money. We also talked about having solar panels on household roofs to reduce the amount of money and electricity spent.
