1. There are many things that I learned during this unit. First off, I learned that energy can be used when a electronic devise is not even in use. This so called vampire energy really suprised me. Why would they make something to cut off the energy supply when nothings plugged into it? Another thing I learned during this unit was drafts can come from electrical outlets. I found this entersting because I never thought that a draft could ever come through them. I also learned there are many other places that you can insulate and protect than just your walls.
2. After this unit I've realized there are many things around my home and just in everyday life that I can do to conserve energy. I will start by turning off lights that are not in use. In my family we keep a lot of lights on. That probably wastes the most energy in my life. Just as simple as turning off the water when I brush my teeth can save a lot of water over the years and help the environment. At night I have to use a space heater even in the summer because I get so cold. This is defenitly something I can cut down on. I take a shower in the morning and at night which wastes a lot of water.
3. Im positive if I tried to educate my freinds on conserving energy they wouldnt listen. My family is a different story. We installed almost all the energy effecient things you gave us from AEP. They get onto me about when im not in my room and my lights on. My family doesnt really waste a lot of energy but that does not mean we can improve on some things.
4. I would not change the way you taught us about energy effeciency. I enjoyed doing the labs and it made the unit interesting. I wouldnt want to take notes all day. You did a good job in teaching us about the subject by putting us hands on. I liked the whole unit. Im glad I learned ways to be energy effeciency.
