SUPERCHARGED SCIENCE

Unit 14:

Electronics

www.ScienceLearningSpace.com

Appropriate for Grades:
5-12 (see notes on each project)
Duration: 10-50+ hours, depending on how many activities you do!

We’re going to learn about one of my favorite topics (No, it’s not shooting off
rockets – that’s my other favorite ). You’re going to learn about electronics.
But before we dive into doing experiments, let’s talk about what electronics
actually is. First, start with the kind of electric circuits you made in Unit 10.
These kinds of electric circuits use switches, motors, batteries, lights and
stuff like that. In this unit, we’re going to build more complicated circuits
that do far more that just turn stuff on and off. You’ll get the chance to
build burglar alarms, FM transmitters and more.
