I decided to do a science project about watts and electricity. This is my website about my topic.

I went around my house and measured some electrical appliances such as a garage door opener, a fish pump, and a computer. I was especially interested in how much electricity the appliances used at night. I measured the amount of electricity using a Kill-A-Watt.

As you can see the garage door opener took the most electricity when it was not being used.
