Saving Your Bills

In unit 2 of Urban Planning we learned a lot about electricity, such as what it is, AC (Alternating Currents) vs. DC (Direct Currents), and how it can used. We also focused on the War of Currents, which was a battle between Tesla (creator of AC) and Edison (creator of DC) to see which type of electricity is better. For an FE we went to the Museum of Science and Industry, where we looked at the Tesla coil and we went to the Brick by Brick exhibit. Also the area around the museum is where the World’s Fair in Chicago during 1893 was held, which is part of the book we are reading, Devil In The White City. For the action project we were paired with a partner and had to create a parallel circuit with 2 switches, one that controls everything and another that only controls part of it, and 5 resistors, such as a motor and light bulbs. Something I enjoyed was working with my partner and seeing what we could create together, and being able to just test so many things. Hope you enjoy the circuit my partner, MS, and I made.
