Students use a kits to learn about electronic components. The kits looks similar to the one in the image above. We discuss and take apart circuit boards , explore systems, and use circuit building software. Technology Journals are updated daily with newly learned information from working in class. This makes up 60% (lab and journal) of the grade. The Technology Journal is collected at the end of each unit. Each is worth 15% of the grade.
Because the course requires research on topics and an exploration of circuits and electricity students are required to complete projects throughout the semester which apply what we are learning. These projects may require a presentation and may involve working in groups. They are worth 40% of the grade.
