Science Fair And Technology Education Projects Newton C. Braga

Many schools around the world are now discovering that teaching technology doesn’t mean teaching how to use a computer and how to surf the Internet. Teaching technology means much more. In fact, it includes how to use the technology found inside computers, cellular telephones, cars, microwave ovens, and all the modern appliances of our world. In simple words, technology in schools means the use of both electronics and mechanics. Herein educators will find a variety of tools for teaching electronics: project assembly with students, useful cross themes, and suggestions for appropriate science fair activities. The book provides a collection of simple projects linking traditional electronics and mechatronics to many of the standard middle and high school science curricula, using a modern approach.
