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.

Students: describe voltage, current and resistance in terms of energy applied, carried and dissipated describe qualitatively the relationship between voltage, resistance and current compare the characteristics and applications of series and parallel electrical circuits outline recent examples where scientific or technological developments have involved specialist teams from different branches of science, engineering and technology, eg low-emissions electricity generation and reduction in atmospheric pollution NSW K – 10 Science Syllabus mapping for all our incursions Science workshop experiments Electronic kits that can be made to keep include: Beginners Wonky Wire – Use a steady hand to complete the challenge Stop Thief! – Make a burglar alarm Lie Detector – Detect your friend sweating out the answers! Wonky Wire (Beginners) Lie Detector (Beginners) Stop Thief (Beginners) Intermediate Reactometer – A simple reaction tester that lights up Dawn Chorus- Awake to sound of bird sounds Junior Theremin – A musical instrument you play without touching Reactometer (intermediate) Dawn chorus (intermediate) Junior Theremin (intermediate) Requirements Appropriate for Years 7 to 10 Access to 3 electrical power sockets and at least 6 tables Chairs are not required but useful. Duration 90 mins. Set up time 45 minutes and pack up time 30 minutes. Soldering irons are used; safety precautions are taken however it is still the school responsibility to choose students who are suitable for this program During Social Distancing – Contact us and we’ll tailor a program to suit both your school and the State’s social distancing requirements.
