Performance Task:

Each student will create a drawing of a home
plan. The homes must contain a
living room, a kitchen, at least two bathrooms and at least two
bedrooms. The student must place
wall outlets in their home using adequate spacing and list all appliances
that will need to be plugged into each outlet. Using power requirements for each appliance, students will
calculate the amount of amperes needed for each outlet and construct a data
table. Using a 20-ampere limit,
students will wire all outlets into circuits.
