GCSE+EP+Term+1+Lesson+Information

**This scheme of work follows the Edexcel Electronic Products curriculum from 2010 onwards** This term you will be introduced to a number of electronic components, you will also complete practical tasks using these components, and study how they can be used together to design and create useful electronic products. You will be introduced to the basic scientific and mathematical formula used in electronics. flat **Theory & Practical** - Sensors || ||  || Practical - Soldering Monostable circuit || ||  || **Theory & Practical** - Transistors || ||   ||  **Practical** - Using 2D Designer || ||   || = 20 = || 1.5 Process components = 21 = || 1.5 Process components = 22 = || 1.5 Process component = 23 = || 1.5 Process component = 24 = || Test = 25 = || 2.2 Forming techniques, 2.3 Health & Safety = 26 = || 1.1 Wood, 1.2 Metals, 1.3 Plastic = 27 = || 2.2 Forming techniques, 2.3 Health & Safety = 28 = || 2.1 Scale of production = 29 = || 2.2 Forming techniques, 2.3 Health & Safety = 30 = || 1.12 Diodes = 31 = || 1.12 Diodes = 32 = || 1.13 Relays Practical - LED chaser circuit - soldering & programing || ||   ||
