Electricity 101 - Power
by Lezly Garcia
This STEM lesson focuses on science and math. It was written for 6th through 8th grade, but it can be adjusted to fit other grades. It was made for a whole group start, then move into groups of 3-4 rotations, then back to whole group but student lead. Students will be learning about power, creating a question to investigate power based on the items in class, collect data and then take part in a board meeting.

In this lesson, students use their knowledge of electric power to design a model circuit that expends less electrical power. They do this by using the PhET Circuit Construction Kit: DC and they may
