Energy in the Home

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

This PowerPoint covers the complete topic of using energy in the home. Facts are given about the requirements for energy, where energy comes from, costs of energy and costs of running appliances. There are a number of lists here that may lose your students' attention, but if you plan to use these slides over a number of lessons along with appropriate math activities, or discussion topics, then the information will be valuable.
