first time out with spintronics


 First time out with @upperstory spintronics and @matrixtsl Locktronics explaining the flow of electrons around a circuit The students seemed to get the idea better than without the spintronics. 

Lesson Plan

  1. Begin by introducing the concept of electricity and its importance in our daily lives.
  2. Define the terms 'circuit' and 'flow of electricity.' A circuit is a path that electricity flows through, and the flow of electricity is the movement of electrons through a conductor.
  3. Next, explain the three basic parts of a circuit: a power source, a conductor, and a load. The power source provides the electricity, the conductor carries the electricity from the power source to the load, and the load is a device that uses the electricity, such as a light bulb.
  4. Discuss the concept of electrical resistance. Resistance is a measure of how difficult electricity can flow through a material. Materials with low resistance, such as copper, allow electricity to flow easily, while materials with high resistance, such as rubber, block the flow of electricity.
  5. Introduce the concept of a circuit diagram, which is a graphical representation of a circuit. Circuit diagrams use symbols to represent the different parts of a circuit, such as a battery for the power source and a light bulb for the load. List some items.
  6. What goes around the circuit - what is electricity - the flow of electrons. Watch the chain of the spintronics with the blue link and an indicator.
  7. Have students create their own simple circuit diagrams using provided materials, such as batteries, light bulbs, and wires.
  8. Compare adding another resistor to spintronics
  9. Have students build the circuits represented in their circuit diagrams and observe the flow of electricity through the circuit.
  10. Conclude the lesson by reviewing the key concepts and having students summarize the flow of electricity around a circuit.

Flame Tests

 One of the students' favourite experiments are flame tests and then identifying an unknown material.
