Session 4
Students began to assemble the components of their steady-hand circuit game. Using their newly built work stations as the starting point, students connected the various circuit components needed to operate the game. In this version, a tricky wire pathway is held between the crocodile clips on the tin. Leads to the battery terminals, the car and the loop were stripped, soldered and connected. Every time the loop touches the wire pathway, it completes the circuit and the car goes.



Session 5
Project 1 is finished! The circuits are working perfectly which is a compliment to the students' newly mastered soldering technique. The incorporation of a car, rather than a light, in the game has been highly motivating (although it makes the students **want to touch** the wire pathway, to see the car go!). Next week we begin Project 2: a continuity tester.
