Classical
A methodology based on the Latin Trivium (three stages of learning), including the grammar stage (memorization and facts), logic stage (critical thinking), and rhetoric stage (developing/defending ideas).
Unit Study
A thematic or topical approach centered around one topic that integrates multiple subject areas.
Montessori (Discovery)
A methodology based on the work of a 20th century educator that emphasizes student and sensory-driven discovery learning and real-life applications.

Description

Looking for more depth instruction and practical application of basic electronics? Check out this in-depth exploration of electronic components that incorporates the SC-750 Snap Circuits® Extreme kit (item #026796)!

Containing all the components of the SC-750 Kit, a sturdy black storage case (with handle!), a Teacher Guide and a colorfully illustrated, comprehensive Student Guide teaching the concepts of electricity/electronics covered in the kit, and includes real world applications and problem solving quizzes.

The electronics component offers 80+ colorful building blocks with snaps to build over 750 projects! The comprehensive instruction booklets provide detailed orientation to the parts in the kit and their functions, safety guidelines, a checklist and a troubleshooting guide. It also lists each project with a full color diagram of the finished setup, objective, and directions. The parts are all labeled on the diagram, making it easy to set up the project, and the directions include a quick explanation of how the circuit works. The circuit to build is shown in color and with numbers, identifying the blocks to snap together to form a circuit. Children learn about transistors, integrated circuits, and radios. Includes everything from the SC-500 Pro-Kit (item # 029507), plus additional projects covering solar cells, electromagnetism, vibration switches and 70 computer interfaced projects, turning your personal computer into an oscilloscope and spectrum analyzer!

The colorful Student Guide assists students to “Learn by doing®." Containing 14 chapters, the first 3 cover basic electricity before moving onto the practical application of electronics. Topics include basic components and circuits, motors and electricity, resistance, capacitors, transistors, oscillators and electronic sound, integrated circuits, electromagnetism & radio, diodes, electronic switches, electromagnetism, sun power, and more. The chapters are written to the student and teach in a way that is understandable to most middle school students. Aligning with the Learn by doing® philosophy, hands-on activities are integral to understanding the topics. Most activities are the same as those found in the instruction booklets, although there are a few new ones. Chapters conclude with a summary, practice test (with answers) and often a problem-solving activity. 138 pgs.

The Teacher Guide provides background information, a list of projects, reproducible quizzes for each chapter in the Student Guide, and the quiz answers. 25 pgs.

Requires 4 AA batteries . You will also need a Windows® compatible computer and microphone input port for the computer interface projects. (Software download required and available at supplier site for no additional charge.) Supplier also provides a link to a similar Mac® version that is similar in capabilities but does not match the instruction manual exactly. Practical and educational, guide your children into learning electronics basics with this invaluable training kit. ~ Deanne

Category Description for Electronic Snap Circuits

These easy-to-use circuit kits are composed of over 30 easy to snap "blocks" of all necessary electronic components, similar to those used in Switch On!. An impressive number of projects can be made using these parts, including an electric light, a sound activated switch, lamp and fan, two-speed fan, laser "gun." police siren, clap sounds, blinking double flashlight, motor sounds, strobe lights, motor-controlled lamp, lamp/speaker/fan in parallel, pencil alarm, touch motor, bomb sound, simple water alarm, and many, many more projects and games. Each project is listed in the booklet, and featured in a half-page layout which includes a full-color diagram of the finished setup, objective, and directions. The parts are all labeled on the diagram, making it easy to set up the project, and the directions include an explanation of how the circuit works, so maybe after the thrill of creating their own laser "gun" or water alarm wears off, they'll come back and actually figure out how it works. A fairly detailed orientation to the parts in the kit and their functions, safety guidelines, parts checklist and a troubleshooting guide are all included at the beginning, so students can complete the projects safely - and get a lot more from the kit than just "making cool stuff." Looking back from beyond college, I definitely recommend any child looking to the science route in college to play around a bit with one of these kits - it honestly does make understanding circuits and charges at the college level a little easier. This is definitely too fun to be "science!" A Dr. Toy 100 Best Children's Products Winner. - Jess
