    •    Let the students make at least 10-15 suggestions.

    •    Let the students list the importance of the appliances. Can we do without some of the appliances?

    •    Ask them to guess the energy consumption of these appliances
    In this activity we discover the number and kind of appliances we have in our home. We compare this information with the appliances an adult had in his or her home a generation ago.
