How do you build a model solar powered house?

For a class science project we have to make a model of a house using solar powered building materials. She said we can find the materials at home depot or lows. But the problem is that she never really explains anything on how to do it or anything. Anyone have anymore clues on how to build the house to make it solar powered? Does anyone have any more details about it and could explain it more?

Thanks
Everything, well at least the lights in the house really have to work. Any ideas on that?

   You need batteries to hold the power with light bulbs to match - flashlight bulbs probably and photocells to generate electricity. Lowes and Home Depot are not places for these. You could buy glass or plastic and thin wood there and make passive solar where the heat is absorbed by walls to even out the temperature and could, with care, use small tubing to make active solar water heating.
