Basic Electronics - What Are The Basics?
Introduction
This is a guideline to help you focus on the Core of an Electronics Curriculum. This outline does not completely cover the subject of electronics and should be modified to fit the needs and resources of your particular program. This is a list of bare essentials you should cover if you wish to offer an Electronics Program at your site.
Electronics 101
First
we will look at the whole program. Next we will look at a sample module. We will present some suggestions for text and materials you might like. We will give you a hands on lesson. Please ask questions, we might have some answers.
a. Solving (DC) circuit analysis problems using Ohm's Law. b. Calculating fundamental (AC) parameters. c. Manipulating scientific and engineering notation in problem solutions. e. Deriving algebraic equations to determine unknown values in circuits. f. Utilizing a scientific calculator for problem solving. g. Solving multi-step problems including word
and Electronics
Learning Systems

Electricity and Electronics - Chapters 1 & 3 TOPS Worksheets on Magnetism and Electricity Learning Resistor Color Code Resistor Challenge
Safety
Meet your Districts requirements Pass test with 90% before you can solder
Soldering
GTE Video is a good basic intro This can be a course in itself Practice makes perfect Multivibrator Kit
Electricity and Electronics - Chapter 2 How meters work Building your own simple meters How to use a Multimeter Measuring Voltage, and Resistance Measuring Current (or how to blow up your meter)
Tronix Kits Lessons 5-8, Experiment 10 Intro to circuit analysis Time Needed to complete 2 to 3 weeks
Electricity and Electronics - Chapters 4 & 5 Ohms Law - Watts Law - Kirchhoffs Law Its not math, its more of a balancing act Ok it is math, deal with it! Tronix Kits Lessons 9-11, Experiments 11-12 Be ready for moans and groans but this is the most important concept you will teach.
Time Needed to complete 2 to 3 weeks This is another area that may take extra time
Electricity and Electronics - Chapters 9 & 10 TOPS Worksheets review Magnetism and simple motors Build the Reed Switch Motor Tronix Kits Experiments 21 - ? Take away the pictures, make them use the schematics Add one day for each Tronix Experiment
Materials Fee Let them keep the kits, you keep the books Its a lot of work to assemble your own kits Have extra parts on hand - figure 20% loss They will still have their projects when you happen to see them in 10 years Change things to make it fun for you! Speed will change with each class
