SS3 First Term Basic Electronics Lesson Note and Scheme of Work
Week 1-2: Introduction to Basic Electronics
Lesson: Overview of basic electronic components (resistors, capacitors, transistors)
Activity: Hands-on identification and testing of electronic components.
Week 3-4: Understanding Ohm’s Law
Lesson: Introducing Ohm’s Law and its applications.
Activity: Conducting experiments to verify Ohm’s Law using practical circuits.
Week 5-6: Capacitors and Inductors
Lesson: Exploring the characteristics and applications of capacitors and inductors.
Activity: Building simple RC and RL circuits, measuring time constants.
Week 7-8: Transistors and Diodes
Lesson: Understanding transistor types, diode characteristics, and applications.
Activity: Constructing transistor amplifiers and diode rectifiers.
Week 9-10: Digital Electronics Basics
Lesson: Introduction to digital electronics, binary system, logic gates.
Activity: Designing basic digital circuits and logic gate simulations.
Week 11: Revision Week
Reviewing concepts learned so far.
Activity: Conducting a comprehensive review session, solving practice problems.
Week 12: Examination Week
Administering a written and practical examination.
Activity: Students demonstrating practical skills and theoretical knowledge.
Week 13: School Dismissal Week
Recap of the course and addressing any outstanding questions.
Activity: Providing feedback on examinations, discussing future topics, and bidding farewell to students.
Note: The Scheme of Work is designed to progressively build students’ understanding of basic electronics, incorporating hands-on activities for practical application.
The revision and examination weeks serve to consolidate knowledge, while the dismissal week provides closure and a platform for future learning. Adjustments can be made based on the pace of the class and individual needs.
