About the Book
Those are labs I have developed for an outreach program for high school students. They are hands-on experiments to get started with electronics/electricity. We will start with turning a DC adapter to a DC power supply (3V to 12V) and to learn how measure voltage and current. Then we will investigate Ohm's law, basics of circuits in series and in parallel. We will use a breadboard and jumpers to build small circuits starting in unit 3. We will go over the basics ideas of resistors, poentiometers, diodes, inductors, transformers, capacitors, photocells, photoresistors. We will build simple oscillators, a simple motor and a simple generator with magnets. Do not buy the materials all at ounce. By them as you go along the labs.
