    Solar Fan Project Lesson 2

    Solar Powered Fan Project

    Lesson Objectives:
    • To look at how the Solar Fan is assembled
    • To understand what each component does
    • To be able to correctly label each part of the fan
    • To know the different symbols used in electronics

    HOMEWORK - you will create a Poster on Green Issues

    Key Stage 3 Design and Technology Year 7


    Solar Fan Project Lesson 2

    Design Brief
    To design and make an Electric Fan, which will be completed
    within 8 weeks.
    During the project I will look at a range of Energy Sources to see
    which is the best for this project.

    Components Symbols
    in Electronics
    Imagine drawing out a huge electronic circuit, it would take
    forever, so to make things easier symbols have been create
    for each component.
    It also means that the symbols are universal, someone in
    china can read a drawing from England without knowing any
    English at all.

    Copy down the following symbols into your book…

    Switch Cell/Battery Fuse Lamp

    Motor Buzzer Resistor LED

    Solar Fan Project Lesson 2

    LEDs emit light when an electric current passes through them.

    A simple on-off switch. This type can be used to switch the power
    supply to a circuit.

    Resistors restrict the flow of electric current, for example a


    resistor is placed in series with a light-emitting diode (LED) to
    limit the current passing through the LED.

    Lamps emit light when an electric current passes through them.


    They have a thin wire filament which becomes very hot and glows
    brightly when a current passes through it. The filament is made
    from a metal with a high melting point and it is usually wound into a
    small coil. Filament lamps have a shorter lifetime than most
    electronic components because eventually the filament 'blows'
    (melts) at a weak point.

    These devices are output transducers converting electrical


    energy to sound.

    Batteries come in all shapes and sizes. They store electrical charge
    and they provide the power.

    An electric motor uses electrical energy to produce


    mechanical energy, through the interaction of magnetic
    fields and current-carrying conductors.

    A fuse is a type of sacrificial over current protection device. Its


    essential component is a metal wire or strip that melts when too
    much current flows, which interrupts the circuit in which it is
    connected.
