Electronic Components and Snap Circuits
We learned how to recognize basic electronic components including diodes, resistors, transistors, and capacitors both loose and attached to circuit boards. We learned the symbols for each component and how to find them on a sub-woofer schematic. We even learned how to read the color band code on resistors to figure out the resistance. Then we spent a day with Snap Circuits experimenting with how the various components work in actual circuits.
