Project to develop an Toothbrush timer for local library. PowerPoint. Wil last slide prinetd on A3 as a design page.
These would normally be laser cut and assembled, but you could do this at home with card and recyled plastic.
2D Design is a softwerae package, but there are many alternitive for free online. Exteneded easlity into using a 3D CAD package.
Flowol is softwrae package for controller microcontroller. Thsi coudl be done instead with a BBC Micro:bit or PICAXE.
The Brief
My children don’t like brushing their teeth.
They know it is important but they do not enjoy the time bruising them.
Worksheet for exploring the 555 IC timer circuits.
Circuits modelled in Circui Wizard.
Pupils go on to build 555 Monostable and Astabel timer circuits.
"The 555 timer IC is an integrated circuit (chip) used in a variety of timer, pulse generation, and oscillator applications. The 555 can be used to provide time delays, as an oscillator, and as a flip-flop element. Derivatives provide up to four timing circuits in one package.
Once PICAXE Setup is complete you will need to interfece with different I/O components.
This sheet explains how to connect a range of I/O devices to the PICAXE Chip.
Project to develop an book stand for local library. PowerPoint includes a final slide to be printed on A3 as a design page.
These would normally be laser cut and produced for the local library, but you could make these out of recycled card or plastic at home.
2D Design software package is used, but there are many alternitive for free online. Exteneded easilyy into using a 3D CAD package.
The Brief
The local library wishes to engage a wider audience in attending it events.
It wants to show the facilities it has to offer are current and accessible to all.
If the facilities are not used then there is fear they maybe lost.
Assembly looking at Diversity in Technology
Focused on how Technology has allowed so many to reach their full potential, in particlaur looking at Paralympians.
Music to play: Public Enemy - Hard than you think
Over 70 Logic and Lateral Puzzles, each in an PPT format with solutions. Great to use for start of lesson, or as a intermediate break point bewteen activites.
