EXPLORE

No long instructionsJust show and good to go

Soon, they will try something more advanced…

… and creating their own circuits

What would we learn:• Basic circuit theorieso Electronics components and their symbolso Series vs parallel connectionso Relates to household appliances

• Physics (Energy conversion)o Electric energy to kinetic energy (motor)o Light energy to electric energy (solar cell)o Kinetic to electric energy (electromagnetic)

• Maker skillso Soldering skillso Woodworking skills (if use plywood)
