    1. Basic Electricity
    2. Making the Electric Car
    3. Tesla, Edison and Faraday
    4. Digital Electronics
    5. Photovoltaic Systems
    6. The Electric Grid

     

     

    For anyone looking for an online resource that will help you understand electricity and its concepts more I highly recommentd the following website:

    Non-destructive Testing Resources... Introduction to Electricity

    Topics discussed [separate pages] are:

    1. Basic Electricity

    Science of Electricity- Bill Nye and Chapter 11 TE Learning by Design

     

    2. The Electric Car

    Students will be learning about gears and gear ratios as they create a model electric car that will be designed to go slower than 10 miles per hour. They will be using a series circuit to 'power' the vehicle. Design IS A MUST. Subsystems will be created.

     

    3. Tesla, Edison and Faraday
