Gerald Anderson: Clone of Circuits and Switches

Submitted by Gerald Anderson on 24 July, 2017 - 13:01
Overview: 
This lesson is COMMON to both NXT and EV3 versions of STEM Robotics 101. The goal of this lesson is to explore the basics of circuits and switches to provide an understanding of some electrical concepts underlying robotics technology. The lesson utilizes resources from Intel's "The Journey Inside: The Computer" series.
Objectives: 

Students will be able to:

1. Describe the four parts of a circuit

2. Name an example of a circuit

3. Categorize the parts of a given circuit

4. Differentiate between Insulators, Conductors and Semiconductors

5. Name examples of Insulators, Conductors and Semiconductors
