Introduction to Electronics I and II are designed for students age 12 and up and require more attention to detail. These classes use discrete components and make connections on a breadboard for an almost infinite combination of circuits. Students will learn a wide variety of concepts relating to state-of-the-art electronic circuitry.
Syllabus for Introduction to Electronics Part I and II
To participate in IE 1 & 2 you will need to:
Radio Shack on-line for the sensor lab and book.
Go to www.eBay.com and put 28-278 in the search box. Make sure you get the Electronic Sensor Lab!
At one time Computer Geeks (Computer Geeks number is: MFG Part #280-0278) carried this item.
Your local Radio Shack may have one left in stock, but Radio Shack has discontinued this item. You should call before you drive, most stores have sold out. (Radio Shack Number is Catalogue # 28-278). Be sure you purchase the correct (EXACT) lab equipment, do not accept substitutes!!!!! The book in any other kit will not be the same. Print this page and take it to Radio Shack with you if you intend to purchase locally. Many parents have had Radio Shack sales people to offer the incorrect kit saying it will work. A substitute will NOT work.
The Electronic Sensor Lab equipment covers 80 super neat lab experiments with real components just as you would find in modern electronic equipment.
Do not handle the components in the kit! Some of the components can be damaged by static electricity in your body just by touching them. DO NOT try hooking up circuits on the equipment before we have covered some safety issues in this on-line class. Some of the components in this kit can explode if connected backwards into the circuit! Also, digital multimeters can be damaged by misuse, and you would never know until you try to use the meter correctly later in the program. Please wait for instruction before using the digital multimeter! Warning: NEVER CONNECT EQUIPMENT or MULTIMETER to an electrical outlet. It could be fatal.
