Today , we have Science for Tech down at Tamaki College.
Our topic for this week is Saving Energy! What do you know about saving energy at home? How does your family save energy at your home? It save you family from paying expensive bills and you can not go on your devices and wifi as much as you do, respectively.
We then had to name the rooms around the house and what would consume energy in that room. For example, Kitchen and Oven. The most interesting one that I liked was in your Bedroom and the outlets. The outlets consumed a lot of energy because you would usually plug your charger for your device and charge it over night. That is a long time.
Next, watched a video and it how people in a daily life would waste energy and they would fix it by limiting the use on energy. One way was too use stair instead of the elevator. Another way was to replace incandescent bulbs with eco friendly bulbs. You should follow these tips!
We drew incandescent bulbs and labeled each part of the 'body'. We also drew a eco friendly bulb. The difference between the two bulbs is the the Eco friendly light bulb conumes less compared to the Incandescent light. The reason behind it is because the Filaments inside the Incandescent bulbs use up a lot of power to actually light up the bulb.
Our science tech group took a look at Circuits. We tried lighting up a LED lights using a battery and this other tool that will remain unamed because I forgot what it is call. But we found out that the negative goes with positive and the positive goes with Negative. After a few tries we found one battery that was actually charged and it lit up the little LED light in the middle.
We still have more to work on and discover next thursday. So, Come back then and see what else we do for Science at Tech down at Tamaki College. Hope you have a beautiful Day or Night!
