Arduino Education Starter Kit

Arduino Education Starter Kit - Learn electronics and get started with programming in your classroomstep-by-step. No experience necessary.LESSONSGetting Started ( 30 mins). In this lesson the students get familiar with the kit´s material. Learn about electrical safety - how to setup the software and create their first program. Lesson 1 - Electricity Fundamentals (90 mins). In this lesson the students explore some of the basic concepts of electricity and build their first simple circuit while learning about the components that make up the circuit. Lesson 2 - Ohm"s Law ( 90 mins). The students explore one of the physical laws that determine how electricity behaves in a circuit: Ohm"s Law . They will learn - by building - the difference between parallel and series circuits and will investigate how electrical measurements behave using a multimeter as a tool. Lesson 3 - Traffic Signals (90 mins). In this lesson - students are introduced to the Arduino Software (IDE) and program their first light circuit that controls how the circuit operates. Lesson 4 - Dimmer Switch (90 mins). The students learn about the potentiometer and how they can be used manually to control a circuit. As a result - they will build an LED circuit where the Arduino board will control the brightness of the LEDs based on the position of the potentiometer. As the students code their circuit they will be introduced to concepts such as variables - conditional statements and serial communication. Lesson 5 - Project Holiday Lights ( 90 mins). The studen
