Section outline

  • Dear Class,


    Some of you did really well last week. 

    This week, please ensure you can build the transistor circuit correctly and know how to measure resistance of components, their voltage drops and current of each circuit path. You also need to use Yenka to build the same circuit and simulate how it works. Your Yenka circuit should work the same way as the practical one you have built.

    Also, if you have not downloaded Programming Editor 6, please follow the link provided to get the software ready on your device for our next stage of work.


    Big Idea: 

    using your breadboard to demonstrate your understanding of basic circuits and transistor operations


    Learning Intentions: We are learning to (WALT)...

    • Understand how a breadboard works

    • Build a a basic electric circuit using a breadboard and components

    • build a transistor based circuit

    • use a multimeter to carry out measurements and then show an understanding of transistor operation


    Success Criteria: I can/have...

    • confidently use the bread board to build a  circuits and show understanding of the transistor operation


    Activities:

    • If you have not already done so then you must download Yenka.

    • Work with bread board and components to build two circuits 
    • use the slide show to build circuits and then make your own slides to show your understanding


    Homework:
    Explore how the transistor circuit works using Yenka software.


    See you in the class!
