 * Ms. Arnone's 6th Grade Class**

Your Task: Use your classroom combined data to answer the questions below to share in how to save the world.

1. What were the biggest vampires you found? The biggest vampires we found were microwaves, which are difficult to unplug. One person had a play station that used a good bit of standby power.

2. How much money could your class save each month by unplugging vampires? We could save $11.65 a month just by unplugging the vampires

3. How much CO2 would be reduced if your class unplugged the vampires each month? With our class alone we could reduce the CO2 by 110.39 lb/mo.

4. What was the most surprising thing you found while studying this standby power unit? As a whole we found it challenging to find things that used stand by power. Based on what we learned this has not always been true. It was kind of interesting to compare the different game systems. We also talked about the fact that many of us use our smart devices to play games, music, videos, etc. so we don't have as many devices that are plugged in. Although we do use our smart devices when they are plugged in, they don't use stand by power once they are fully charged.

Attach your classroom spreadsheet used for these calculations.
