Electrical Engineering Unit: Schematic Diagrams Practice

Check out this awesome website that scholars explored on Monday! While a few electrical symbols differ from what we've used in our class, scholars did a great job figuring them out and completing the circuits! According to the website, scholars can use this site to:

•    Match electrical symbols to pictures
•    Recognise a complete circuit  from drawings and diagrams
•    Construct circuit diagrams using appropriate symbols
•    Understand how a switch can control devices in series and parallel circuits.
