Electricity- Electric House Project
by Karissa Ham
Lesson 4 culminates the series on electricity with the Electric House Project, where students apply their knowledge to design, construct, and wire a model house that meets specific electrical requirements. Through hands-on activities, students create complex circuit systems within their model structures, integrating series and parallel circuits to demonstrate functionality and understanding of electrical principles in a real-world context.

Students will model series and parallel circuits in Tinkercad and transfer the design to a physical breadboard. At the end of the lesson, students must use the design process to design and build a
