Description
This D.I.Y. electronics book is a great idea book for beginner or mildly experienced electronic engineers. Included are many different projects with instructional guidance and illustrations, projects getting more complex as the book progresses. The user can create projects from simple door alarm systems to secret code checkers. In general, the featured projects use common and easily accessible tools and parts. Adult supervision is required for use with certain tools. Projects are ideal for children 11 and older, but younger children could participate in these projects with guidance. Includes 23 electronic projects total. 293 pgs, pb. ~ Brianna
Publisher's Description of Electronics for Kids
Why do the lights in a house turn on when you flip a switch? How does a remote-controlled car move? And what makes lights on TVs and microwaves blink? The technology around you may seem like magic, but most of it wouldn't run without electricity.
Electronics for Kids demystifies electricity with a collection of awesome hands-on projects. In Part 1, you'll learn how current, voltage, and circuits work by making a battery out of a lemon, turning a metal bolt into an electromagnet, and transforming a paper cup and some magnets into a spinning motor. In Part 2, you'll make even more cool stuff as you:
- Solder a blinking LED circuit with resistors, capacitors, and relays
- Turn a circuit into a touch sensor using your finger as a resistor
- Build an alarm clock triggered by the sunrise
- Create a musical instrument that makes sci-fi sounds
Then, in Part 3, you'll learn about digital electronics—things like logic gates and memory circuits—as you make a secret code checker and an electronic coin flipper. Finally, you'll use everything you've learned to make the LED Reaction Game—test your reaction time as you try to catch a blinking light!With its clear explanations and assortment of hands-on projects, Electronics for Kids will have you building your own circuits in no time.
