Electricity: 3-D Model
How Things Work
Assignment: Create a 3-D model of the topic you have chosen. It may be made out of popsicle sticks, paper mache, Lego, software such as SketchUpetc. Label the parts and provide a written explaination of the following questions..
- Form and Function:What are its main parts and what do the parts do? How does it use or generate electricity? How do electrons move through it?
- What are the social implications? (How might people be affected?) Consider less developed countries and locations with different climates or geography.
- What are the ethical implications? (What is morally right or wrong?)
- What are the environmental implications? (How does it affects the natural world?)
