Electric circuit games – Tablet (British Columbia)
Like in a computer!
Did you know that the origin of the word “bug” in a computer comes from a shortened circuit caused by an insect attracted by the warmth in one of the first computers built by man? This turnkey project consists of three workshops and our young computer scientists will first learn how to make electric series and parallel circuits and then apply what they’ve learned by building their own “tablet”! A fun way to integrate new information!
On the menu:
1) Electric circuits (60 min)
2) Building the tablet (2 X 60 minutes)
Objectives at the elementary level:
- Use the different components of a simple, electric circuit (wire, power source, lightbulb and switch) to build a tablet.
- Understand the use and function of different electric circuits (series, parallel, closed and open).
- Know to read plans containing symbols.
- Reflect on your mistakes to determine the causes.
