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?**

Student PCs, my teacher cart (PC, document camera, & speakers), and our "old school" TV


 * 2. How much money could your class save each month by unplugging vampires?**

$97.46 amount of money our class would save in a month.


 * 3. How much CO2 would be reduced if your class unplugged the vampires each month?**

A little over 54 pounds per month (with computers being the biggest contributors).


 * 4. What was the most surprising thing you found while studying this standby power unit?**

The students had no idea that the TV was still using energy when turned off and still plugged into the wall. A couple felt like this might be what leads to them breaking down sooner, since they are technically using energy (running) all the time.

Attach your classroom spreadsheet used for these calculations.
