Google PowerMeter
How much does it cost to leave your TV on all day? What about turning your air conditioning 1 degree cooler? Which uses more power every month — your dishwasher or your washing machine? Is your household more or less energy efficient than similar homes in your neighborhood?
At Google we're helping enable a future where access to personal electricity information helps everyone make smarter energy choices. Google PowerMeter shows consumers their electricity consumption in a secure Google gadget.
We think Google PowerMeter offers more useful and actionable feedback than complicated monthly paper bills that provide little detail on consumption or how to save energy. But Google PowerMeter is just a start; it will take a lot of different groups working together to create what the world really needs: a path to smarter power.

QCA Scheme of Work: Science KS3 Unit 9I
http://www.standards.dfes.gov.uk/schemes2/secondary_science/sci09i/
KS3 (England) Science Unit 9I: Energy and electricity
This unit is part of the scheme of work the shows how the science programme of study (PoS) for key stage 3 can be managed more easily.
The scheme is not statutory; you can use as much or as little as you wish. You could use the whole scheme or individual units. The sections on ?sing this scheme?and ?equencing the units?can help you to decide how you want to use the scheme.
You may also wish to combine these units with units from another subject. The ?ombining units?section gives information on exploiting powerful links between subjects.
1. How is energy involved in doing useful things?
3. How does electricity transfer energy?
8. What are we paying for when we use electricity?
10.Where do we get electricity from?
12.How can we reduce the waste of energy?
