The Model SC-300R is an in-depth exploration of the electronic components included with the SC-300 Snap Circuits Classic. Designed to help students grasp the basic principles of electronics, this set includes 60+ parts and project books with 300+ projects – plus a teacher guide and 73-page student guide. Students learn circuitry as they build exciting projects such as FM/AM radios, digital voice recorders, burglar alarms, doorbells, and much more!
Topics covered:
- Basic Components and Circuits – Introduces electricity, types of circuits, and circuit building.
- Motors and Electricity – Learn how electricity and magnetism are used in motors and generators, about the electricity that runs your home, and about lightning.
- Resistance – Learn how resistors are used to limit and control the flow of electricity. Learn the basic rules for understanding circuits and an introduction to digital electronics.
- Capacitors – Learn about the different types of capacitors, how they store electric charge, and how they are used in circuits.
- Transistors – Learn how transistors work and how they are used in many types of circuits.
- Oscillators and Electronic Sound – Learn how electricity makes sound. Learn about oscillator circuits and build some too.
- Integrated Circuits – Learn about the integrated circuit modules included in Snap Circuits and what is inside them.
- Electromagnetism and Radio – Learn how antennas are used to send radio signals through the air, how modulation is used to encode information, and about transformers. Build radio circuits to demonstrate these concepts.
