SNC 1D0

ENERGY DESIGN LAB overview  In this lab, you will be investigating the COST of using 5 appliances/devices in your home.   1. Over the course of 5 days, you will record how much TIME each of your chosen devices/appliances is used (this will be your raw data).  Note: you must choose devices/appliances that are PLUGGED IN (not battery operated).  To make your life easier, choose devices that are found on energyusecalculator.com  Your Independent Variable is the type of devices/appliances. Your Dependent Variable is the COST to operate your various devices/appliances.  2. This is a design lab, so you will have to complete a lab report (similar to the one that you wrote at the beginning of the semester) - this report will be done in sections and you will be given feedback as you complete each section.   Make sure to do all of your lab report writing on the Energy Lab template that I’ve assigned to you in Google Classroom.   3. You will have to do most of the normal lab report sections (RQ, hypothesis etc). When you get to the Processed Data section, you will be asked to process your data in a couple of ways: ● Calculate the average time each device is used per day ● Calculate the Energy Used by each device per day ● Calculate the Energy Used by each device per year ● Calculate the COST TO OPERATE each device per year ● Graph your results  Use this site to find Power Ratings for the devices/appliances you choose.    This is your CULMINATING TASK for the Electricity Unit.   This lab report and a Google Forms Test will make up your summative mark for this unit....
