Electronics component poster
You will be required to create a A3 poster of a selected electronics poster or concept (pick from the doc on the right) you will need to first create a sketch design and then digitise it while constantly improving your design with feedback.
Can be good to begin a Soldering task if your classroom only has half a room of soldering iron.
Once the posters are completed, participants can break into small groups to present and discuss their work. Each group will share their findings, and to encourage deeper understanding, a student may be asked to explain a concept or topic from another group’s poster that they didn’t originally work on. This process continues until all key ideas and concepts have been thoroughly explored and understood by the entire group
Watch the three assigned videos in the order listed below. Then, answer each question in the space provided. Some questions require written explanations, others involve calculations or sketches. For a challenge, try the Expert Challenge section at the end!
Watch the video
Students will start by watching a short video that explains the basics of series and parallel circuits. After watching, they will use the PhET Circuit Construction Kit to build and explore these circuits themselves. They will add components like batteries, bulbs, and switches, and observe how the circuits behave when components are added or removed. This helps them understand the differences between series and parallel circuits and how electricity flows in each type.
When the students have finished the worksheet, get them to play this game to reinforce their knowlege
