Based upon the Eduqas Design Technology course, the attached file is intended to be used along side my E-Textiles project, but it could be adapted as required and used as a guide and support for other projects using a sketchbook. The Example sketch book includes Task analysis, Research and Design Ideas example pages, all based around the sketch book idea. Use this on it's own, or alongside the Sketchbook guide and the Presentation Folder guide and Presentation Folder example. There is also a guide to creating a PCB using Circuit Wizard available as part of the bundle, plus a student Homework book to help the students to consolidate their learning.

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.

Range of activities to develop students knowledge of Electronics based curriculum. Includes:- Calculating resistance Semiconductors Protective Resistors Potential Dividers Thyristors Transistors Systems Ideas/ diagrams Logic and truth tables Monostable Time Delay Calculations Astable Frequency Calculations Component Research Flow chart Symbols Vacuum Forming Blow Moulding Injection Moulding Editable document so you can add your own activates or take away unwanted tasks.

This How 2 guide forms part of a complete project. Aimed at fulfilling aspects of the Eduqas Design Technology course, the project introduces the concept of E-Textiles. Students research E-Textiles and use analysis and evaluation skills. This guide is based upon Circuit Wizard by New Wave Concepts, however the guide would be helpful for a number of different circuit design programs. The PCB uses larger pads that are designed for stitching conductive thread instead of attaching normal off board components on flying leads. The first circuit uses a 555 astable circuit and a 4017 decade counter with 7 LED outputs used to produce a flashing array of lights. The second circuit is a simplified version with only 3 flashing outputs. Up to 6 LED's can be used with this circuit as more LED's can be added in parallel. There is a video showing the simulation of the working PCB. Students are always encouraged to test their PCB's before etching to avoid any wasted materials when mistakes have been made. Also included is a guide to creating a 555 astable PCB with one flashing LED (although a second can be added in parallel. Zipped file includes examples of PCBs that can be opened and used with circuit wizard so textiles students can use these PCBs without having to create them on circuit wizard first.

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

PowerPoint presentation including 51 slides with 51 circuit symbols and component names. Can be edited to include only the symbols that you wish to teach/ test students on. Can be used in a number of ways:- - As an on screen show with student individual whiteboards in order to test students knowledge - As classroom posters to prompt students regarding the various components - As a notes document so students can independently research the function of the components If you like this file please give a positive review.

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.

An E-Portfolio designed to support students learning through the development of the Lap counter project. Teaches students about 555 monostable circuits, switch bounce, systems diagrams, counting circuits and more. In addition to this the portfolio includes guidance for developing a task analysis and evaluation using ACCESSFMM as a framework. This is also available as part of a bundle including a guide to develop the PCB and the circuit diagram.

Easy to follow guide showing step by step how to create a circuit diagram for a lap counting circuit using Circuit Wizard from New Wave Concepts. Can be used in conjunction with the other Lap counter files in this series, or on it's own. If you enjoy using this resource please give me a positive review, thank you. You can find me on Facebook, just search for ElectroNic

A 54 page, easy to follow PowerPoint guide on how to create a PCB for a lap counter. Can be used on its own or as part of the lap counter project bundle. I use this project for year 9 students, but would be suitable for year 9 or 10, maybe even as GCSE project. Can be used for Electronics clubs etc. If you find this guide helpful then please give me some positive feedback. You can find more resources in my shop, you can also find me on Facebook, search ElectroNic

I use these activities as extension tasks for students who finish ahead of schedule, but they also help to bring elements of literacy and numeracy into electronics. There are 11 tasks in total including cross words, adding resistor values, ohms law calculations and sorting words into nouns, verbs and adjectives. I hope you find something useful in this little pack of activities. The numeracy based questions include examples for students to follow.

Following on from my lesson on Fossil Fuels, this lesson explores renewable energy sources. Tarsia puzzle on fossil fuels used as a lesson starter and to recap previous lesson. Information cards provided for students about a range of renewable energy sources. Students to use post it notes to write down the advantages and disadvantages of each of the types of fuels (in groups, timed activity - suggested that each group has a different colour post-it note to ensure full participation) Animated suggested answers to be revealed after the activity then a class discussion about the answers Full instructions included on the slides. Slides animated for extra interest

This free sample is to give a taste about what to expect from My Fossil Fuels lesson plan. This sample concentrates just on Nuclear energy. The full lesson also includes Oil, Coal and Natural Gas. The Full lesson also includes a starter that gives students the opportunity to get involved by discussing which energy forms they are aware of and then splitting them into renewable and non-renewable energy forms. The file is on PowerPoint so you can make adjustments if required. There are interactive, animated slides to add a little more interest for students. I you like this free resource please leave a positive review and maybe download the full lesson, it's reasonably priced at just £3. Thank You

This resource is a free sample of my much bigger file that is for sale on this site. I have used this resource regularly over recent years and students designing their own PCB have found it invaluable, This small snippet shows how to add a Piezo to your Genie Microcontroller circuit. It also shows you how to create the PCB and programming flow chart. If you like this free resource then why not take a look at some of my others. Thanks for looking.
