Week+7

=Welcome to Gateway to Technology - Magic of Electrons - Period 2=

Tech Plan for February 14 - February 18 (Week 7)
This week we'll complete our first unit on the properties of Electricity as we investigate static and current electricity. We should move into our next unit on Electromotive force at the end of the week as we investigate electricity's capacity to do work.

 * What is the main idea: ||^  ||^   ||^   ||^   ||^   ||
 * OBJECTIVE || Students will learn what an IC chip is and how the 555 IC Chip controls timing. || Students will explain what diodes are, how they are used in modern electronics. || Students will explain what SCRs are, how they are used in modern electronics. || Students will explain what transistors are, how they are used in modern electronics. || Students will explain how transistors "modulate" current flow in a waveform to produce sound. ||
 * What students will learn: ||^  ||^   ||^   ||^   ||^   ||
 * ACTIVITY || Students will build a blinking light circuit using the 555 IC chip as a controller. || Students will use a diode in a simple circuit build and observe the effects on current flow. || Students will use an SCR (switch) in a simple circuit build and observe the effects on current flow. || Students will both NPN and PNP transistors in a simple circuit build and observe the effects on current flow. || Students will use a variety of components to build a 2 transistor oscillator and observe the effects on current flow to produce soundwaves.. ||
