Z-Week+4+QTR+1

Welcome to Gateway to Technology - Magic of Electrons - Periods 4 and 6

**Tech Plan for Week of October 4 - October 8**
==This week we'll need to make a "build two circuits a day" charge through Discover Electronics as we work with diodes, transistors, and integrated circuit chips so that we're ready for the final four days of project builds next week. During the project build week, students will select one advanced circuit a day to build and test. ==


 * GTT Magic of Electrons || MONDAY || TUESDAY || WEDNESDAY || THURSDAY || FRIDAY ||  ||
 * || 4-Oct || 5-Oct || 6-Oct || 7-Oct || 8-Oct ||
 * LESSON || Circuit Design and Fabrication - Day 11 Current Flow Control - Diodes and Semiconductive Resistors (SCR) || Circuit Design and Fabrication - Day 12 Current Amplification Transisters (NPN and PNP) || Circuit Design and Fabrication - Day 13 Modulated Current and Sound Transistor Oscillation || Circuit Design and Fabrication - Day 14 Timing and Pulses Integrated Circuit Chips (IC) || Circuit Design and Fabrication - Day 15 Project Selection and Build Day 1 ||
 * What is the main idea: ||^  ||^   ||^   ||^   ||^   ||
 * OBJECTIVE || Students will learn how to identify and use diodes and SCRs which allow current to flow in only one direction. || Students will learn how to identify and use Transitors which amplify current. || Students will learn how modulate current using transistors to produce sound. || Students will learn how to identify and use IC timer chips to pulse current. || Students can utilize what they've learned about circuit design and fabrication to produce real world applications. ||
 * What students will learn: ||^  ||^   ||^   ||^   ||^   ||
 * ACTIVITY || Students will build Experiment 6 - Diode Checker and Experiment 7 - SCR Checker and observe circuit operations. || Students will build Experiment 8 & 9 NPN & PNP Transitor Checkers to determine whether they are using a 3904 vs 3906 transistor.  || Students will build Experiment 10 assembling a transistorized circuit that modulates current to produce an audible sound wave that can be heard through a speaker. ||  Students will build Experiment 11 utilizing an 8 pin 555 timer IC chip that makes an LED blink at regular intervals.  || Students will select and build the first circuit project of their choice. ||
