Rapid Alarm Project Set of 5

This project is designed to cover key topics in electronics-based exam courses at GCSE level.

• Each unit of work will offer students an opportunity to build a fundamental circuit and incorporate this with their own design
• The student notes are also supported with a set of teaching notes outlining the areas of the syllabus covered, suggested lesson plans and mapping to the National Curriculum
• Care has been taken to ensure that this project provides schools with a cost-effective, flexible method of offering a practical class based assignment
• The Logic Alarm project is an ideal way to introduce students to logic circuit theory and design
• The notes guide students through the fundamentals of logic, the use of truth tables, common logic gates and the design of combination circuits
• The notes also look at the difference between TTL and CMOS based ICs and their use in project work
• Detailed worksheets can be used in conjunction with Crocodile Clips and PCB Wizard software with a range of homework based assignments
• All circuit design is developed from a systems approach
• The notes contain exercises that cover, in detail, core elements found in examination syllabuses
• The component kits are supplied in multiples of five and include:
• ICs and switches
• Resistors and capacitors
• Piezo sounders and battery clips
