Establish a Baseline / control
Objective: Students will collect readings to quantify their actual consumption before implementing their experiment.
Update your Project Plans by entering at least 3 readings.
Ideally collect daily meter readings for a full week because how much we use is often quite different during a week day versus the weekend.
Scroll down and click on the “Data Table” to add readings
You might make a mistake when you enter readings. That’s no problem! You’ll see an error message on your meter. Just go to meterhero.com/fix to see common mistakes and how to fix them.
