PRC Energy Education Staff Attend School Science Fairs
|
|
On December 1, the PA Resources Council Smart Ideas energy education team, sponsored by PECO, visited the Marshall Street Elementary School in the Norristown Area School District in Montgomery County.
Over 700 students and their parents attended the fair and stopped at PECO's education table, which featured two lessons; electricity use in the U.S. vs other countries and the electric draw of ordinary household appliances.
Because it was the holiday season, seasonal lights were used for part of the demonstration. The watt meter registered a 78 watt draw for the old-style lights and 1.2 for a string of LED lights.
The students eagerly shared all they learned during the day with their parents that visited the evening fair. The Smart Ideas team was thrilled to learn the students had been listening!
