Madlab Electronics Solder circuits and apply your knowledge of electricity Enquire Now Make your own electronic circuit to keep! Using soldering irons and appropriate safety equipment, your school classroom becomes a hive of activity as students construct their own electronic device using real electrical components. Whilst constructing circuits, your students will learn about capacitors, resistors, diodes as well as how electronic circuit boards are manufactured in the real world. The kits have been designed by Madlab and have been used by the Edinburgh Science Festival.

VC2S8U17 investigable questions, reasoned predictions and hypotheses can be developed in guiding investigations to identify patterns, test relationships and analyse and evaluate scientific models. VC2S8I01 scientific methods, conclusions and claims can be analysed to identify assumptions, possible sources of error, conflicting evidence and unanswered questions. VC2S8I06 evidence-based arguments can be constructed to support conclusions or evaluate claims, including consideration of ethical issues and protocols associated with using or citing secondary data or information. VC2S8I07 electricity can be generated as alternating current (AC) using magnets (via turbines turned by wind, water, tides or steam that is generated by the combustion of oil, gas or coal or by nuclear energy) or as direct current (DC) using photovoltaic cells or batteries. VC2S10U16 investigable questions, reasoned predictions and hypotheses can be used in guiding investigations to test and develop explanatory models and relationships. VC2S10I01 the validity and reproducibility of investigation methods and the validity of conclusions and claims can be evaluated, including by identifying assumptions, conflicting evidence, biases that may influence observations and conclusions, sources of error and areas of uncertainty. VC2S10I06 arguments based on a variety of evidence can be constructed to support conclusions or evaluate claims, including consideration of any ethical issues and cultural protocols associated with accessing, using or citing secondary data or information.
