Introduction to ARRL
Education and Technology Program Curriculum Guide
Where's
the Remote?!? Purpose: The objective of this activity is to
allow the student to explore how dependent we have become on wireless
technology by temporarily removing one remote control device and observing
the reaction of the people who want to use the affected device.
Job
Opportunities within Wireless Technology Related Fields. Purpose: The objective of this activity is to allow
the student to explore job opportunities that require the use of wireless
technology. The students will learn how
lucrative the jobs are, the working conditions, the feelings of self-fulfillment
experienced by people in the field, education requirements, promotion and
advancement opportunities, etc.
Historical Review of
Wireless Technology. Purpose:
The objective of this activity is to allow the student to see the
historical significance that wireless technology has played in our world and
our culture.
The
Impact of Feedback on Communication.
Purpose: The
objective of this activity is to allow the student to explore the impact
that non-verbal feedback has on the communication process and how they can
change it to accommodate for the lack of feedback to effectively
communicate.
Communication
Through Codes (Symbols). Purpose: The objective of this activity is to
allow the students to learn the fundamental concepts that are involved in
developing codes to be used for communication. The students will utilize codes that they have developed to
communicate with other students.
Yes I CAN ... No You
CAN'T! Purpose: The
objective of this activity is for the students to identify the major components
of the wireless communication system and relate those components to the
components of human communication as defined in this curriculum.
Building a Radio Without
Batteries. Purpose: The objective of this activity is to allow students to build a
crystal radio receiver that will receive local broadcast stations. In the process of building the receiver, the
student will be able to identify the basic components of a radio receiver.
Okay
SCATTER (Meteor that is). Purpose: The objective of this activity is to
allow the students to learn how radio waves can be detected beyond the
normal line of sight between the transmitter and receiver by reflection
off of tails created by meteorites penetrating the earth's ionosphere.
Verifying Ohm's Law.
Purpose: The objective of
this lesson is to allow the student to explore, during a simulation, the
relationship between the components of electricity (voltage, current, and
resistance) using Ohm's Law.
Ohms Law and the Metric
System. Purpose: The objective of this activity is for the students to become
familiar with metric system and Ohm's Law vocabulary terms.
Oscillators.
Purpose: The objective of
this activity is for the students explore oscillators.
Amplifiers. Purpose: The objective of this activity is for
the students to explore simple amplifiers.
Rectifiers.
Purpose: The objective of
this activity is for the students to explore simple rectifiers.
Mixers.
Purpose: The objective of
this activity is for the students to explore simple mixer circuits.
Filters.
Purpose: The objective of
this activity is for the students to explore simple filters.
Receiver Basics at the Circuit Block Level. Purpose: To
explore how a basic radio receiver works by studying the function of each
circuit block.
CG Unit 9 Act
9.4A.DOC 36,352
Receiver Basics at the Component Level. Purpose: To
explore how a basic radio receiver works by studying the function of individual
components within circuit blocks.
CG Unit 9 Act
9.4B.DOC 932,352
Range Limitations of
Wireless Technology. Purpose: The objective of this activity is for the students to explore
some of the factors that limit the range of wireless technology.
Wireless Technology in
Robotics. Purpose: The objective of this activity is to
introduce students to the use of wireless technology to control robots.
Darn
Those Ham Radio Operators! Purpose: The objective of this activity is for
the students to experience how interference adversely impacts the quality
of the information transmitted by wireless technology and the need to keep
interference to a minimum.
Obeying the Law.
Purpose: The objective of
this activity is for students to confirm for themselves that users of wireless
technology and the radio spectrum are serious about obeying the rules that
govern the use of our airwaves. The
students will also discover that complying with these rules is often very
subtle and unobtrusive to the use of the airwaves.
