Electric Circuit Shoebox Project

Since we are learning about physical science at the beginning of the school year, this will be an excellent idea for students to use a shoe box and show how electricity flows through a room on the house.

Students build a model bedroom in a shoebox. Bedroom must be wired on a parallel circuit for two electrical devices. The devices must be controlled by a switch. Model must be accompanied by a poster explaining parallel circuits and the circuitry of the model.
