Title: Energy wasting workout
1Energy wasting workout
Find out how much energy is needed to power a
light bulb?
2What a waste!
Most people waste energy. Wasting energy is
polluting our world and causing it to heat up.
3Do you ever waste energy? Do you ever leave
lights on? How else do you waste energy?
4Normal 100W bulb. Energy saving
bulb.
Energy saving bulbs use less energy than normal
light bulbs. Guess how many energy-saving bulbs
use as much energy as one normal bulb.

5 energy-saving bulbs use as much energy as 1
normal bulb!
6Lets find out how long you must run on the spot
to light each type of bulb for one hour.
Split into two groups, then run on the spot to
light each type of bulb for one hour? How long do
you think you will need to run? Do another
exercise if you wish or pretend to be an energy
making machine.
7Jogging burns approximately 10 calories per
minute!
8Jogging for 1.42secs uses the same amount of
energy as is needed to light one energy saving
bulb for 1 hour.
Jogging for 8.36secs uses the same amount of
energy as is needed to light one normal bulb for
1 hour.
9But what can I do?
Be energy efficient!
If every household installed two energy efficient
light bulbs, enough energy would be saved in a
year to supply all street lighting in the UK.
10Always remember to switch the bathroom light off
after you go to the toilet. Only fill the
kettle with the amount of water you need.
Don't leave your computer on after you're
finished using it. If you feel cold try
putting on a jumper before you turn up the
heating.

Make a promise to save energy.
