Throughout this week, our main focus has been on electrical circuits. There are two different types of circuits; series and parallel. A series circuit transports current through one path while a parallel circuit transports current through more than one path. In most newer homes, a parallel circuit set up is used in order to allow multiple appliances to be operating at the same time while using the full amount of energy each appliance needs to operate. In honor of our electricity challenge, I took a picture of one of the more costly operating appliances within our household that I have made sure is not frequently used. Our family actually doesnʻt use our air conditioning often which is good considering how much energy it eats. My mom has also made sure to unplug anything that is not being used in order to save even more energy as well as money. I feel that my family is doing pretty well with conserving energy (:
