      RESOURCE:

      Because there continues to be high numbers in absences and most of our work in the class is activity based, I have found a helpful resource for those wishing to complete electron circuit work at home, vitually. For example, if you still need to complete your Resistor lab, it can be done using the following resource:

      Tinkercad: Tinkercad is a free, easy-to-use web app that equips the next generation of designers and engineers with the foundational skills for innovation: 3D design, electronics, and coding!

      • to use Tinkercad, follow the hyperlink above.
      • create an account using your email (all students have Office 365 emails and STKRS emails; you may also use your personal email if you are comfortable doing so).
      • Once you have signed up, you can use the program for free. 
      • Setting up your virtual circuit: 
      1. Click the "Autodesk Tinkercad" icon on the top left corner of the site after signing into your account. This should take you to your dashboard.
      2. On the left hand side and under your name, you should see design options. Select "Circuits"
      3. Once you have selected circuits, you should an option to press a green button that says "Create new Circuit." Select this.
      4. Your tinker-space should be open now. To select a breadboard and other useful components (resistors, batteries, multimetres, etc.), look under the "Components" menu on the right hand side of your screen; there is also a search tool there if you are having trouble finding what you are looking for.
      5. Note that if you select a resistor, you can change its value (#ohms) by clicking on it. It will allow you to name it and give it a value. Note also that the coloured bands change depending on the value you give it. 
      6. make sure to have a multimeter component. 

      For extra help using Tinkercad, see the following video:


      ***feel free to YouTube more videos to help you use this software. Remember, tinkering is finding out how something works through play and exploration--spend some time tinkering with the software and email me for help if you get stuck.

      Lesson 3 - Resistance LAB

      Today we are using bread boards, resistors, potentiometers and electronic multimeters to complete an in-class lab activity. This is to be done in pairs.

      Lesson 5 and 6 - Capacitors, the 555 Timer Chip, and Circuits

      If you were away during our construction of electronic circuits using the 555 timer chip, please use TINKERCAD (see resource above with instructions) to attempt to complete one of the 3 circuits in the following assignment. When you have completed it, send me a screen shot of your circuit board for assessment.

      Lesson 3 - Bernoulli's Principle

      Bernoulli Experiments performed in class: (WORD/PDF)

      Bernoulli Experiment Student Template Assignment: (WORD/PDF)

      In a nutshell, Bernoulli's principle tells us about the relation to fluid flow rate and pressure. 

      • The faster a fluid's speed, the lower the pressure. 
      • The slower a fluid's speed, the higher the pressure.

      If you were away, please view the documents above. Some of the experiments you can perform at home; others you will need to watch videos to observe unless you have the materials. Read below for help.

      Experiment 1: 

      • This experiment can be done at home with a spoon and a facet. 

      Experiment 2: 

      Experiment 3:

        Experiment 4:

        • This can be done at home using a price of printer paper and tape. The wing below is roughly what your paper fold should look like.

        Experiment 5:

        • This can be done from home with a piece of paper, ruler, scissors, and a paper clip.
