1. Creating a Radio Receiver and Amplifier By Rachel Palmer, Maria Pilinovics & Ashley Redman

2. How the project was conductedWeek 1 Creating the aerial Tape card to ferrite rod Wind copper wire around the rod 55 turns – tightly to ensure a stronger signal Approximately 25mm wide

3. How the project was conductedWeek 2 Using the soldering iron Solder the six resistors into the circuit board Cut the excess wire with pliers

4. How the project was conductedWeek 3 Soldering all other components to the circuit board Resistors, capacitors, headphone socket, aerial, tuning capacitor Attach battery holder Troubles – re-solder the aerial

5. How the project was conductedWeek 4 Creating the amplifier Soldering the capacitors and resistors 6 resistors, 3 electrolytic capacitors, 1 ceramic capacitor, 2 polyester capacitors

6. How the project was conductedWeek 5 Put the rest of the components together Ohm speaker & cable, slide switch, battery snap Plug to plug cable and stereo jack socket Troubles – 2 components soldered together

7. How we worked together Turning the copper wire on the ferrite rod Figuring out where each of the components go on the circuit board and following the sheets provided Taking it in turns to solder the components Guiding each other Writing the lab sheets together Taking photos for evidence

8. Writing the report Have a group meeting Jot down content ideas (lab notes) Task allocation and research Collaborate final report Written report Pictures and videos to support report

9. Publishing the report Report & photos - Group wiki via Blackboard Video – YouTube Presentation – slideshare.net Turnitin – Final Report
