Arduino Preview Lessons

I have my lessons on microcontrollers on my website on a special page. 

III. Arduino Presentations- This year, we went out of order, and students presented to the class first (groups of students will research their part, prepare a presentation, and report back to the class):

1. What is Electricity? 

2. Voltage, Current, Resistance, and Ohm’s Law

3. What is a Circuit?

4. Polarity

5. Integrated Circuits (ICs)

6. Logic Levels

7. Digital Logic

8. Analog vs. Digital

After taking notes on everyone's presentation, everyone started to fill out their:

I. Arduino Diagram (Rough Draft on Paper and Final Draft using Google Drawings. For background, the diagram and explanation on: https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/what-is-an-arduino/whats-on-the-board
