On Day 1 of our Electrical Engineering Unit, scholars worked in groups to summarize a chapter of A Reminder for Emily: An Electrical Engineering Story. Each group then shared the summary of their chapter to the class.
In the story, Emily gets in trouble when she irresponsibly rides Flash, her horse, allowing her sheep's water trough to run out of water. Emily is grounded until she can show that she is responsible. She uses the Engineering Design Process to solve her problem by creating an alarm to notify her when the water is low.

On Day 2, scholars discussed what technology was used before electricity (candles, quill pens, bicycles, etc). They also completed an Electricity Scavenger Hunt to discuss technology that we use on a daily basis and how it uses electricity.
