Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

1. Explain forward bias and reverse bias in an electronic circuit.
2. Construct different electronic circuits (the forward and reverse bias), and observe what happens to the LED.
3. Construct different electronic circuits involving resistors and capacitors and observe what happens to the LED and report on their findings.
