This morning we spent reviewing Ohm's Law this morning (note: if you were absent, I handed out a calculation homework assignment due Friday), but this afternoon held the excitement of the first day to solder our individual projects. Students selected from a variety of projects such as the Lie Detector, Crazy Chirper and the aptly named Insanity Alarm. What is your daughter building, you ask? I've promised complete anonymity until after April Fool's Day. Consider yourself forewarned.
But really, soldering is more than just tormenting our families. This project gives us a great opportunity to learn circuit components like resistors, capacitors and LEDs, not to mention figuring out how to read schematic circuit diagrams plus the added bonus of learning a cool skill like soldering. Students will be able to take their projects home on Tuesday and share them with their families, so be on the lookout!
