This Design and Make project involves students building a “stylophone” style musical keyboard. The package consists of: A 15 page workbook Scheme of work PCB Design to allow for the etching of the circuit board - for a more detailed Circuit Wizard PCB design file please email: ed@clarvis.co.uk The workbook guides learners through the design and manufacture of the project. Pages include circuit diagrams, PCB layout and component lists, areas for sketching case design ideas and for evaluations. Additional exercises are included relating to the identification of components and tools. The project uses 5-band resistors, a sheet is included for students to identify the correct values. The casing can be made to any design you wish but the workbook shows shows outline plans for a laser cut acrylic top cover. The SOW is simple & editable to your own needs.

A complete lesson with the aim of raising awareness of the sugar content of processed foods. Students will learn how to read nutritional information on packaged products and determine their sugar content. To reinforce the high levels of sugar present, students will compare the sugar content of foods with their equivalent in sugar cubes, smarties and biscuits based on a practical investigation.
