An Electrifying Quiz! Constructing a Printed-Circuit Board Quiz Game
Calhoun, Michael J.
Tech Directions, v65 n2 p20-23 Sep 2005
Laptop computers, cell phones and the Apple iPod all contain transistors, IC chips, capacitors, and other electronic components. To the general public--and especially students in upper elementary and middle school grades--these components are most often very mysterious items. Yet, it is at elementary and middle school levels that scientists and educators feel that they can make the greatest educational impact relative to the engineering sciences in general and electronics in particular. Constructing and playing with the printed circuit board (PCB) game in this article gives students excellent knowledge of the functions of various electronic components and the PCB as the platform on which they operate. (Contains 2 figures.)
