We teach our kids at home and I'm looking for an electronics curriculum to
use for science this year. The boys are 11 and 13 years old.
I'd like something that covers the basics of electricity and electronics
that includes some simple projects. In the end I'd like them to be able to
take the Technician exam, so I'll have to supplement it with rules and
operating practices. I'm also going to supplement it with basic home wiring
just for fun.
I'm not looking for a reference book, I'm looking for something that is
intended to be taught from. It might even have student workbooks and other
supplementary material. It doesn't have to be designed for home school; it
can be designed for bigger classrooms or maybe even a "teach yourself
electronics" book that includes projects.
Ultimately (here's where we tie into topic of the Elecraft list) I'll have
them each build a K1 or KX1 but there's a lot to learn before we get there.
Any suggestions?
