Grade 9 Electricity/Electronics
Technology (10G) 1 credit (2006)
The purpose of this course is to expose students to the
fundamental concepts of electronics. The student does not require a background in electronics, as this course is very introductory in nature. Topics include: introduction to electricity, basic circuitry, learning the language
of schematic symbols, digital multi-meter reading, resistance,
capacitance, inductance, semi-conductors, power supplies,
tools and safety. These topics are applied to constructing projects, initiating student challenges,
watching videos and conducting experiments. This course will be of
interest to those who are curious about how electronic devices
work, including troubleshooting and repairing electrical devices we use everyday,
or who are considering a career in electrical/electronics
technology or engineering.
It is structured as follows:
- Module 1: Electricity
- Module 2: Safety
- Module 3: Electronic Components
- Module 4: Building a Project
- Module 5: Series, Parallel, and Combination Circuits
- Module 6: Sources of Electricity
- Module 7: Careers in Electronics
Suggested Resources
- Calculator
- 9-volt Batteries
- Safe work area with 120-volt, 15-amp household power supply
- Each student needs the Electricity Kit (includes tool kit, project kit, experiment kit, practice soldering kit). This is available from the MTBB (9993). For students that already have the electricity kit (without tool kit) from the MTBB (3308). We recommend calling MTBB to verify the cost of these resources before purchasing the course.
