SHS3 General Science · Semester 2 Week 7: Consumer Electronics

Lesson notes

Learning Objectives

Indicator: 3.3.3.LI.1 - Discuss consumer electronic devices and their components.

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

Identify at least five common consumer electronic devices found in Ghanaian homes and name three or more main components inside each one.
Explain the function of basic electronic components such as resistors, capacitors, diodes, transistors, and integrated circuits using simple everyday language.
Relate the components inside a device to the role that device plays in daily life (for example, how a phone’s battery and charging circuit work together).
Work in mixed groups to examine pictures, videos, charts, and actual devices, and report findings on the components they observe.
Demonstrate an appreciation for the diversity of skills and backgrounds in their groups by listening to and building on the ideas of all group members during class discussions.
