Designing Simple Electronic Circuits

Students design simple electronic circuits using challenge cards. Each card gives real world situations that can be solved with simple electronic circuits. There are 24 different challenge cards that describe a real world challenges and the input and output required - its up to the student to design the circuit. The resource includes printable component circuit cards that students can use to plan their design and a component reference sheet that describe how each component works and its symbol. The resource also includes a solution sheet for each challenge with a video link to a demonstration of each circuit. All challenges are solved with simple series or parallel circuits and use commonly available components such as batteries, bulbs, resistors, diodes, variable resistors, switches, LDR, LED, Buzzer, Thermistor, Multimeter and Motors. I have included details of component kits that can be assembled to allow students to construct the circuits they have designed.
