Wired+Project


 * “Wired” Project **

For this project, you will need to create a drawing of the path electricity follows as it moves from a power plant to an outlet in your home. All the information that you need is in the book __Wired__ by Anastasia Suen.

You will be graded on the completeness of your picture, not your artistic ability! Feel free to add details that you read about in __Wired__ or pictures of the features near your home.

Use the rubric attached to guide your work. Mrs. Clark will be available every day before school, during I/E, and at recess, if you need help. This project will be due **Monday, October 8.**

Your drawing must include:
 * A power plant
 * A step-up transformer
 * High-voltage lines and transmission towers
 * A step-down transformer
 * A substation
 * Feeder lines
 * Utility pole with distribution transformer, primary and secondary lines
 * Service head
 * Conduit
 * Electric meter
 * Grounding rod
 * Service panel
 * Cable
 * Outlet

Have fun!!!
