This PowerPoint is to be used with whiteboards. Students should be given either a resistor calculator wheel or chart, students will be shown the resistor with the first click, students work out the value of the resistors and present this on their whiteboard, the correct answer is then revealed with the next click of the mouse.

Easy to follow lesson about smart materials. Range of information card for students giving detailed information about each of the smart materials shown on the cover slide. Student worksheet for them to independently research a range of smart materials. Wide range of lessons based upon the Eduqas specification available

This PowerPoint is to be used along with traffic light cards. Students should hold up the correct colour card to correspond with the correct answer. These questions are based on simple electronic principles, however you can edit the questions to suit your own requirements.

A range of interactive activities intended to help students to learn how to develop a flow chart to control a Genie Microcontroller. Includes cut out flow chart commands that students should sort into the correct order and then draw in flow lines to make the project function as required. Example circuit diagrams and working flow charts also included. Examples are: Traffic Light Simulator Steady Hand Game Mood Light See more resources in my store.

This easy to follow guide breaks shows students how to design and program an infrared emitting circuit using the Genie CO8 microcontroller. Infrared emitters and receivers offer electronic projects a whole new dimension and students engage with this concept easily.

This set of resources gives you everything you need to plan and deliver a Mood Light Project. Included within this pack you will find:- - Week by week PowerPoint reminders for students to be displayed on whiteboards (this can be edited as required) - Student E-Portfolio template with activities aimed at developing students knowledge and understanding, Including full instructions for student. - How 2 guide showing students how to develop their own PCB using Circuit Wizard - PCB template for students - PCB example that can be used for less able students - Circuit diagram - 2D Design CAD/CAM files for the case of the product

This project has everything you need to run a steady hand game project. Aimed at KS3 the class booklet introduces simple concepts such as resistance values and thyristor pin names. The booklet also covers designing, analysis of ideas and evaluating the final outcome. The homework booklet reinforces learning. There are also a range of extension tasks. You will find a week by week pictorial guide showing students what to do, there is also a pictorial circuit population guide that you can print off, I have them laminated so they can be reused time after time. Students really enjoy the freedom of being able to follow the guide themselves. I have included zipped 2D design files for the case and zipped PCB files compatible with circuit wizard that can be used to make your PCB's. My students love this project. I hope your do too.

Full lesson with a wide range of activities around sustainability. This lesson looks at Carbon footprints, Product life cycles and finite / non finite resources. Students also explore the 6 R's. Full PowerPoint with instructions about use in the notes. Student worksheets to be printed. 15 pages of activities/ worksheets.

Simple quiz on basic electronics principles. A good starter activity for KS3 electronics students or KS4 design technology students requiring to develop their understanding of electronics. More slides can be added with your own specific questions, just copy and paste either the tick or the cross slide and then add your own question, the animation is taken care of. The idea is that students will stand up if the answer is correct and stay sat down for incorrect answers. This physical activity gets students moving and ensures that they are all involved with no opportunity to avoid answering.

Everything you need to make run an amplifier project. Aimed at year 8 the PCB is made in school (circuit wizard file in zipped file). We use and MDF frame and glue the front and back into place. Unlike the kitronik version, my version has a switch and an LED within the circuit. This project in a box includes a class booklet, homework booklet, printable guide showing students how to populate the circuit and a weekly presentation that you can use to help students through the various steps. Images are used to show students exactly what they need to do. My students love the freedom of following the guide themselves. Also included is an interactive lesson about the components used in the mono amplifier. The resource includes information cards, a quiz book and a plenary.

This Latching alarm project is a great way to introduce students to the role of the thyristor. The students can follow the guide to design their own PCBs. My students use a key switch and magnetic proximity switch, they love the idea that if someone breaks into their room then they won't be able to turn the alarm off unless they have the key! My students make a vacuum formed case, there is a 2D design file included within the zipped file, you can use this as a starting point to make your mould, or you can just make your own. Included is an E-Portfolio template with great instructions showing students what they need to do. The weekly how 2 guide can be used to set lesson objectives. There is an emphasis on independent learning and analysis. Homework activities support learning.

Template for GCSE students. GCSE students struggle to ensure that they have included everything that they need to gain maximum marks in their controlled assessment. This E-Portfolio template can be used in one of two ways, either each individual student can edit their own copy with their own project details, alternatively this can be used as a reminder of what is needed on the page to be displayed to all students via the white board. Aimed at encouraging thorough analysis and evaluation throughout the project and to encourage independent learning this portfolio has proved to be highly effective.

This resource was created for year 6 summer school students. The file includes a 2D design file to cut the parts needed to make a balloon racer. I found that corrugated card worked better as it is light weight, although drying times are longer. I gave students the choice of using either card or plywood, or a combination of both. Great, fun activity for students. Principles of a design brief and specifications have also been included, along with some extension tasks to be completed while the glue dries.

18 steps to creating a PCB. Print and cut out the steps. Students to sort the steps into the correct order. If you like this simple, free starter activity then take a look at my TES shop for a range of Free and Paid resources. Like my page of Facebook ElectroNic DTTeacher

Good as a silent starter this component recognition worksheet is based upon the AQA Electronic Products Specification. The worksheet challenges students to name some of the less obvious components and also state if they are polarised. As the Design Technology Specification has changed and students are required a much broader knowledge this starter can help teachers with minimal subject knowledge to introduce electronics to students. This resource is free. There are many more resources for you to enjoy, some free, some payable. Please enjoy.

Resource aimed developing students knowledge and understanding of the operation of Thyristors and Transistors. Students should fill in the blanks to further their knowledge and understanding.
