Projects and Topics for Edison Project 2

Ever wonder about those little color stripes on the resistors in our kit?  In Edison Project 2, we learn all about the secret resistor color code.  We will discover how parallel circuits function.  We will also learn to use one of the most dangerous parts in our Snap Kit but do it safely.  Caution!

Edison Project Two will be  so much fun  you won't sleep at night!

Here are a few of the topics we will cover:

1. Color Code

2. Powers of 10

3. Engineering Notation

4. Parallel Circuits

5. Rectifiers and how they do their job

6. Meet Michael Faraday and Guglielmo Marconi 

7. What are capacitors?  More importantly, what kind of electronic magic can a capacitor do?

8. Dangers associated with capacitors

9. Logic Circuits.  How can we make circuits that make decisions?

10. Incandescent Lamps, Circular Florescent Lamps and LED Lighting

11. What is the difference between a short and an open?

12. Many More!

The Projects are going to be WILD!

1. We are going to build electronic games with our Snap Kit!  Play with the entire family!  Then, learn the secret to how the games work!

2. Have you ever heard of a delay circuit?  You are going to learn how a delay circuit works!  Then we will build delay circuits to  s l o w   d o w n  the Lightning Fast World of Electronics.  

3. Connect circuits with some of the wildest and wackiest sound effects you have ever heard!  

Edison Project 2 Covers 40 neat experiments from the book and includes many learning activities and safety instructions!  Hope you can join us!
