  1. Inquiry Based LearningGreen Technology (CTE105)Which Bulb is Best? Paul Chanley (2009) Northern Essex Community College

  2. Light Bulb Evaluation • Objective: Develop an experiment that will evaluate different technologies of light bulbs for common household lighting • Module is designed to enlighten students and help them become more educated energy consumers • Students will receive inquiry week five • Three class periods, (10 hours). • Work in groups of two or three.

  3. Light Bulb Evaluation • Students will evaluate Incandescent, LED and CFL light bulbs at common wattage ratings • For each type of light bulb, students will be required to: • measure the energy consumption • calculate carbon footprint • provide a cost analysis • measure output of light • Students are provided materials and must develop an inquiry that will include a hypothesis, experimental procedures, data analysis and conclusion

  4. Prior Knowledge • Proficiencies/ Prerequisites:College Reading, Basic Writing & Basic Algebra I • Computer Skills:Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Internet research. Materials: Total Cost ($65 - $170) • Computer -with Internet, Excel, Word & PowerPoint • “Kill-A-Watt” Meter ($25) • LED, CFL & Incandescent Light Bulbs ($15 - $70) • Light Sensing Meter ($70) • Optional- Photo Resistors w/multimeter ($22) • Light Bulb Socket w/reflector ($3) • Ruler/Meter Stick

  5. Student Documentation • One Page Description of Experiment • Carbon Foot Print Calculations • Diagram of Experiment • Cost Analysis – (Cost vs. Time Plot &“Break Even” Point) • Student Recommendation • Daily Journal/Lab Notebook • Classroom Presentation • Student Recommendation
