This lesson takes two days or class periods since it is an exploration of energy in the lives of the students. Day 1 involves 8 different scenarios. Day 2 is an exploration of how efficient two lightbulbs are with energy usage. Students will analyze and determine, based on their data, which one is more efficient. Students will also have time to finish Day 1 exploration.
