Mr Circuit Electronics Experiment Lab 1P
Here is more info on the lab. Remember, this part number 1101-PCBK is only for the Parts Kit to do all the experiments in the lab.
With this lab, your students will learn electronics technology, and they will have a way of proving that they have. No longer will prospective employers or customers just have to take their word for it. Upon completion of this lab, you will print out and give them an official signed 8 1/2 x 11" Certificate of Electronics Training that can be added to their resume. They can display it with pride in their room or office.
The Mr Circuit Electronics Experiment Lab 1P is a great way to begin an electronics technology education. It teaches the basics of electron theory and also gives hands-on experience of building electronic circuits.
The purpose of this lab is to introduce people to the field of electronics technology and all its possibilities. It is a perfect foundation for those wanting to learn how to program and create projects using microcontrollers like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, etc.
For a teacher, it is not necessary to have a background in electronics to offer this lab to their students. The only role of the teacher is to see that the students follow the instructions of the presenter on the video as well as those in the printed off written lessons.
There are written quizzes along with answer keys for the teacher to use to evaluate the progress of their students. Tech Support for instructors is available by email or phone.
The lab starts out with four lessons of information to give a foundation to begin the journey.
Then, with several electronics experiments, you learn how to use the eleven electronic components which are the building blocks for electronic circuits. This hands-on experience will give an individual valuable skills for them to use in today’s world of technology.
This lab can be used for individual instruction as well as a lock-step classroom program. Links to Video lessons are provided as part of the lab.
For students who miss an instruction period, make-up is very easy. The student can watch the video lesson presentation, study the written lesson, and do the experiment.
This lab is also a perfect activity when you have a Substitute Teacher.
There are 34 video lessons and experiment presentations.
