For the past month or so we had been working on an electric house project in science. We did this to learn about our circuit unit. Basically, we had to make a cardboard box, and on top of that box, we had to make circuits with different appliances for our houses. We used lights, motors, and buzzers.

Here is a video of my group explaining our house.

How It Works:

Our circuits work by having electrons confined to one path, the wire. Voltage, the difference in electrical potential makes the electrons flow. When the electrons flow through the appliances, the appliances transform that electrical energy into different forms, such as mechanical energy, light, and sound.
