Electric Quiz Board
Copyright 1978 Sci-Ed Services
Target Grade: A (or A+)*        Bonus Points: 30
NOTICE!!Read the "General Guidelines" first! Then, read this...
» - » You must have a project design form signed by your science teacher before  you begin your project  The project design form and this form must be returned with your project.  Failure to return both forms will result in a penalty of 5%.  If you begin your project before obtaining  your science teacher's signature on the project design form, your project may be disqualified. 
» - » Check the TARGET GRADE (most likely your  maximum grade) at the top of the page.
» - » You may not  use AC electricity to power your project.  Only DC electricity of less than 5 amperes & 15 volts is permitted.
» - » You may not copy another student's design for your project (except for bridges & towers).  Yours must be significantly different.
» - » You may not do the same project twice without permission from your science teacher.
» - » In order to earn  “bonus points” and extra credit, your project must be handed in by the due date, and must earn at least 96 %.
» - » Projects handed in more than 4 days late will not be presented or tested in class.
» - » You must complete a project design form and get it signed by your teacher before you begin your project.
OBJECTIVE- The objective of this exercise is to make a battery powered electric quiz board which automatically indicates correct selections for at least 10 physical science questions and answers by lighting up a light or sounding a buzzer or bell when the correct connection is made by means of a switch, a combination of switches or a probe or combination of probes.

PROJECT GUIDELINES
1.  Read the INDEPENDENT PROJECT GENERAL GUIDELINES first.
2. Complete a project design form and get it signed by your science teacher.
3. Make a list of at least 10 or more questions and answers (physical science only) that will be used with your quiz board.
4. Make a neat circuit diagram of your quiz board.
5. Build your quiz board using rigid material (cardboard, plywood, paneling, etc.).
NOTE 1:You may not use a prefabricated circuit board or a "kit". You may not use more than 18 volts.  You may not use A.C. electricity.
NOTE 2: When correct choices are made, the board must indicate that the choice is correct by means of a light that comes on or a sound that is produced.
