A very special project with the Top Gear class. Home-made flash lights!!! I wasn’t sure it the kids would be interested in electronics but to my surprise they were all for it. We started off with a simple diagram of a circuit and how to wire up the LED.
The kids then quickly got to work. We used a toilet paper roll for the body and put the battery and electronics inside.
The students stripped wire, connected the anode of the LED to a 220 Ohm resistor and the cathode to ground.Next we glued on a button.
