Project Page In the Talent 21 project I am in the group and in that group will be Me( Dev), Justin, Scott. ﻿How much do we use electric each day and how to reduse that amount? In my house everything runs on electric and i am trying to cut my electric bills in half which would save money so i can donate it to any organization or by food with and donate to the Food Bank.
 * As students how can we reduce our ecological footprint on our local enviroment?**

We will make a list that requires electric and then we will make a Excel chart. we will use animote, prezi, and xtranormal.

Through the weekends my house used 11 energy saving light bulbs, computer more than once, water heater more than once, stove, microwave more than once, AC more than once, wahing machine more than once, and that's all the energy that I had used over my experinment.

The11 energy saving light bulb that I had use reduced a little speed of the elecritcity meter which, in the result of that experinment was that my elecritcity bill droped 50 - 100 dollars which if had continued this for 6 months I would save 600 to 500 dollars and that would save money for extra needs or for charity or I can give that money to my school so they can buy school need and other stuff.

My avarage elecritcity bill was $130.00 My elecritcity bill with a with the energy saving light bulbs is around $90.00

= History of Electricity = The history of electricity goes about two thousand years ago, which goes to the **Greeks**. Yes they were the first one to find electricity. The Greeks called the electricity "elektron". The Greeks discovered that by rubbing fur and amber togrther which caused attraction between thoes two material.By the 17th century people made electricity- related inventions such as electrostatic generator, the difference between positive and negative current. By the year 1600 English physician **William Gilbert,** he changed the Greek way of saying electricity which was "elektron" to electri. While people were saying that **Benjamin Franklin** was the father of electricity but it's not true. In 1752 Benjamin Franklin performed the famous experiment which was Benjamin Franklin going out in a thunder storm and flying a kite which had a metal rod attached to it so the the lighting can be attract to that metal rod and travel down to the key so as soon Benjamin Franklin touched the key he would get shocked and that showed that lighting was electricity. So Benjamin Franklin didn't found the electricity he showed that lighting is another form of electricity which was made by the nature. By 1800 Italian -borned physician **Alessandro Volta** he was the first one to make electricity battery which gave steady current (which we use in our daily life), and Volta was the one who mixed certain type of chemical which not Benjamin Franklin, and Volta was the one who first made a transmission of electricity that is link by positively-charged and negatively-charged connectors and driving an electrical charge, or voltage, through them. It wasn't until that electricity was viable in techonlogy. **Andre Ampere,** a French mathematician that focus on electricity and magnetism. Andre was the first to explain the electo-dynamic theory. A permanent memorial to Ampere is the use of his name for the unit of a electric current.**Ben Franklin** was an American writer, publisher, scientist and diplomat. Ben assist to draw up the famous Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution. In 1752 Franklin proved that lightning and sparks from amber are the same thing. The story of this famous milestone is a familiar one, in which Franklin fastened an iron spike to a silken kite, in which he flew during a big thunderstorm, while holding the end of the kite string by an iron key. When lightening flashed in the sky, a tiny spark jumped from the key to his wrist. The experiment proved Franklin's theory, but it was extremely dangerous - because He could easily have been killed.

=** In todays world **= Did you know that the australia has the second cheapest electricity in the world. The reasons for increasing the cost of electricity in our home is because as more people populate our country, the energy will rises. Also as Today, Electricity is being useds for appliance and technologies everyday. and prove his theory that Lighting is static electricity. ||
