00:00:00,620 --> 00:00:11,619
In this video, I would like to show you how to develop some electronic experiences using an Arduino board as a power source and a breadboard to connect the elements.

2
00:00:11,619 --> 00:00:18,620
At the end of the video, you can find some easy and engaging activities to carry out with your students.

3
00:00:20,620 --> 00:00:28,620
To help students understand how does a breadboard work, I recommend using both the screen and the whiteboard.

4
00:00:28,620 --> 00:00:37,619
Apps like Fritzing, that you can download and install in the computer, or websites like Tinkercad,

5
00:00:37,619 --> 00:00:46,619
also known because it allows designs for the 3D printer, are powerful tools for these tasks.

6
00:00:46,619 --> 00:00:57,619
Here on the left side of the screen we read circuits, and inside we have all the elements necessary to develop our experiences.

7
00:00:57,619 --> 00:01:07,459
we can drag an abridged board, an Arduino board, to the screen and begin our circuit.

8
00:01:07,459 --> 00:01:13,859
One interesting thing of this program is that you can show students how contacts are made,

9
00:01:13,859 --> 00:01:19,859
because if you put the mouse on the hole for a pin, all the line is highlighted.

10
00:01:19,859 --> 00:01:38,299
If you explain this to your students, and then you suggest this activity, to put R-resist or R-E-D,

11
00:01:38,299 --> 00:01:47,620
connected from the positive side to the negative side, then you can find things like this.

12
00:01:47,620 --> 00:02:07,409
So I have prepared this stage in which this can be the screen, the whiteboard and the students working in her circuit.

13
00:02:07,409 --> 00:02:21,409
So, first, we have already connected the 5V pin of Arduino to the line in which we are going to have

14
00:02:21,409 --> 00:02:30,490
the positive side of a battery and a black wire from the negative side of the

15
00:02:30,490 --> 00:02:41,789
battery, GND in Arduino, to the row with a black line along. So in all these holes

16
00:02:41,789 --> 00:02:48,530
we have the negative side and in all these holes we have the positive side.

17
00:02:48,530 --> 00:03:01,469
We can begin the diagram by drawing a line attached to the positive side and a line connected

18
00:03:01,469 --> 00:03:05,650
to the negative side of the battery.

19
00:03:05,650 --> 00:03:17,310
For example, to connect an LED with a resistor, we are going to do the following.

20
00:03:17,310 --> 00:03:30,430
First of all, let's choose the suitable value of the resistor in ohms 220 and we are going

21
00:03:30,430 --> 00:03:38,629
to connect one of the legs, one of the pins of the resistor to any hole of the positive

22
00:03:38,629 --> 00:03:48,289
line and the other terminal to one hole from one of the columns in the central

23
00:03:48,289 --> 00:04:04,139
side. Till now this is what I have done. Now we have to attach the left so I have

24
00:04:04,139 --> 00:04:16,209
connect the positive side to one of the holes of the same column in which I have

25
00:04:16,209 --> 00:04:23,910
inserted the pin of the resistor and the other led must be in another

26
00:04:23,910 --> 00:04:37,410
column. Now this is what I have done but something is missing to close the

27
00:04:37,410 --> 00:04:46,389
circuit what do you think we think we have to put a wire to close the circuit

28
00:04:48,560 --> 00:05:00,560
perfect we need this wire to close and finish the circuit and if everything is all right then the led

29
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:41,459
It's light on.
