M 12

 Answer all questions (based on the data that you collected) in Activities 5-10 through 5.12.  Study all the patterns you can identify and things you still need to figure out.

 Start collecting the current (amps) or power (watts) listed on each of your electric devices in your home inventory.  By law electrical devices must list one of these two numbers.  This will be used in the Home Electrical Analysis, Act. 5.22

Tu 13

 Go over (study) Activities 5-8 through 5.12;

Answer Ch. 4 Practice Problems 1-3
