OBJECTIVE: *B- Each scout will ..... Calculate electricity usage in your home & Tell/Present/Explain five (5) ways you can conserve energy.

PROCEDURES:

A- Mechanical Concepts & Motion

- Complete the energy usage calculations work sheet

- Tell/Present/Explain five (5) ways you can conserve energy.

PROOF FOR YOUR MERIT BADGE:

- We will be working thought he U.S. Scouting Service Project Engineering Workbook, use this to help you document that you did today for proof

- I will take photos of you working through the process, that you can use for proof of completion of this stage. They will be uploaded to the folder below, unless you parents prefer you not to be photographed. If that is the case then they will have to contact me for any additional proof they want.
