unit activity: circuit Task 1 Home Energy Use In this activity, you are going to perform an experiment to track the amount of power you and your family use, then look at some basic patterns in that usage. (NOTE: If you live in an apartment or home in which you do not have access to the electrical meter, consult with your instructor about alternative arrangements, like teaming with a classmate to gather this data.) This experiment is going to span the course of a full week and require 12 meter readings. It really involves two separate experiments: tracking daily energy use for a week to compare any usage variations from day to day comparing a single high-usage time period of a few hours with a single low-usage time period of a few hours to help you identify the extremes in your household electrical use You can easily do both experiments during the same time period. This approach would be the easiest and fastest way to proceed. Read the instructions for both Part A and Part B if you wish to do both experiments at the same time. To begin, you'll need to find your electric meter, which could be inside
