Unit 3: Electrical Engine – Oh No, My Battery is About to Die!
MJ j -
Welcome everyone to what is officially my tenth blog post!
As I mentioned in my last blog post, in this blog post I will outline what the third unit in my curriculum is, and all the information within it. Just a heads up, this unit is the one that is most likely going to need a few revisions before its all said and done. As always, I welcome any feedback you might have, so make sure to comment if you have a suggestion!
To start, this unit’s title is “Electrical Engineering”, and it will cover the basics of circuitry as well as some information on how batteries function. Just like the previous units, if you have trouble seeing the following images clearly, you can click here to see the unit on the google document itself.
This first image shows the beginning of the unit, where the definition of a circuit is defined, and the basic parts of a circuit are outlined.
This next image covers information on batteries. I originally didn’t have this part at all in my curriculum, but my advisor recommended I added it due to it being necessary to understand as they go through circuitry and electrical engineering in general. It mentions how batteries operate on oxidation-reduction reactions, and oxidation as well as reduction are defined to avoid any confusion as to what the processes entail.
This image shows an online lab that doesn’t require any downloading. Click here if you want to open it yourself. It just requires a device, which will be available to the students through use of chromebooks. Moreover, this lab will help the students grasp what a circuit actually looks like, as well as how the different parts of a circuit works together. You can see the different steps that I outlined for this lab in the image above or on the actual google document.
To end this unit, there will be a unit multiple choice mixed with free response test that will test the students knowledge on circuitry, batteries and how they function, as well as everything else that was discussed in the unit.
Catch you next time,
MJ
