2 Cfl light bulbs look a lot like ice cream cones. Just like florescent tubes, cfl light bulbs contain a very small amount of mercury covered within a glass tubing. Their most incredibly cool quality of all, is their energy saving who doesn’t want to feel good every day because you know your saving energy. They might be a little expensive but if you think about thirteen dollars is a little bit of money when it comes to saving 100 dollars off of her electric bill.

3 CauseEffect Switching to the cfc light bulb.More energy is being saved Using a regular light bulb not the CFL light bulb you are using more energy New cfl light bulbs have been invented It will help the world a little more.

4  Using CFL Light bulbs will save you energy.  If you are not using cfl Light bulbs then this experiment will show how much you and the people in your house hold keep the lights on. Then to subtract how much energy you would save with a cfl Light bulb. Next you will use a cfl light bulb and see how much you and the family in the house hold keep the light on and see the amount of the regular light bulb and see how much time, and energy you've saved.  In this experiment I think that the CFL Light bulb will save more energy than the regular light bulb.

5  The results of the experiment is that on the first day (with regular light bulbs) I used light and electricity normally and recorded the number on my electric meter at 6:30 am as 73526 kw (kilowatts). At bed time that night at 9pm I checked my electric meter again and I read 73537. I finally subtracted the amounts of kw used today with came to 11kw in all used that day.  The next day in the morning I changed to a cfl light bulbs on the electric meter I read at 7:30 73568 kw. Again at 9 pm I recorded off of the electric meter 73554. I then subtracted the morning time from the night time and got 14 kw that full day. After the rushed two days finally added up or should I say subtracted up when I subtracted day 2 f

6  The CFL light bulbs were invented my Ed Hammer, an engineer with General Electric, who responded to the 1973 oil crisis.

7  These are the resources I have used for my project  1.) Book=save our planet by: Diane Mac Eachern PG.33-35  2.) Its easy being green by: Crissy Trask  3.) A newspaper article called Atlantic County Recycles
