            4- I can solder correctly and safely.

            Activities:

              - Follow the circuit construction steps to make your sound amplifier music light box ( Screenshot is below):

            Year 10s Work Experience Week- No Tech classes

          • Term4 week8

            We will continue building our transister - Speaker - Microphone circuit for our sound amplifier music lights using actual electronic components with breadboard. we will also use soldering to make an actual circuit on cardboard.

            Success Criteria:

            1- I can use Tinkercad circuit website to construct a simple music LED circuit (Transistor, Speaker and microphone)
