STEM CL5: Electrical Circuits Level 5 - Learn With Snap Circuits
What's included
5 live meetings
4 hrs 10 mins in-class hoursClass Experience
In this class, we will continue to learn the relationship between circuit devices through the use of Snap Circuits. We will create fun projects that will spark student's creativity. For this class, it is required to have the Blue Snap Circuits book (Projects 306-511) as well as all the components related to the book: List of topics discussed in class: - Analog Meters - Transformers - FM Module - Seven segment LED displays - Capacitors - Transistors - Variable resistors - Amplifiers CLASS SCHEDULE: Session 1: Students will learn the principles of Analog Meters in circuits. Components used: - Analog Meters - Resistors - Variable Resistors - Photoresistors Session 2: Students will continue to learn about Analog Meters in circuits. Components used: - Analog Meters - Resistors - Variable Resistors - Photoresistors - Integrated Circuits - Transistors Session 3: Students will learn the principles of Transformers to increase the amount of AC Voltage as an output. Components used: - Transformers - Variable Resistors - Integrated Circuits - LEDs Session 4: Students will now combine the principles of Transformers along with Analog meters to understand circuit activity with these components. Components used: - Analog Meters - Resistors - Variable Resistors - Photoresistors - Integrated Circuits - Transistors - Transformers - LEDs Session 5: Students will learn the principles of FM Moducles and compare them to AM radio Performance . Components used: - FM Module - Transistors - Capacitors - Combination of components Session 6: Students will learn the principles of Displays and how to use our Seven Segment Display to project numbers and letters. Components used: - Seven Segment Display - Transistors - Capacitors - Variable resistors - Speakers - Combination of components
