Anything that uses more processing or computation power than word processing. Naturally, that refers to things such as games, videos, music, streaming video, uploading/downloading files, connection to the internet, if you have LAN or WiFi turned on, anything that isn't word processing. This is because it requires more power to make more calculations and computations within the CPU, RAM, video card (if present), and if files need to be read, hard drive.

However, things like internet access as long as it isn't downloads or streaming shouldn't lower it that much. But if you aren't using it, you should close it and turn off your wireless switch if you can.
