It is one of the first labs we do and shows kids how a series circuit works.\r\n\r\nDry Erase Markers are crucial for our \"checks for understanding\" dry-erase paddle boards. These are used to ask students quick questions and provide quick feedback as to where they are.\r\n\r\nCalculators are always a huge necessity. Every year, a few break down (the calculators I have are from 2015); so getting a few replacements each year is always helpful.\r\n\r\nTape is needed to hang up papers, projects, and hold things together in our engineering class.\r\n\r\nAll these items are very helpful in allowing my students to engage in hands-on learning.

In my engineering class, we use AA, AAA, and 9V batteries very frequently for a variety of projects. In these projects, often, students get to choose what type of voltage source they want (how many batteries are needed and of what type of battery they want to use). This allows for them to analyze their voltage source, the type of casing needed for the batteries, and design around this. \r\n\r\nWhile we use batteries for every project we build, the project with the most need for batteries is the Tetris Console. This requires 4 AA batteries per student.

Unfortunately, the TI30xiis', while being great calculators, become unusable over time. This is because over the course of a few years, the text on the buttons rubs off and you can no longer tell what the button says.\r\n\r\nThe DC motors and fan parts are for a \"build your own fan\" lab that I do with my students.

The current project they are working on is the LED display project. In this project, students have to take an object and light it up in some type of manner. The electrical tape comes in very handy because it prevents shorts from happening between the wire and other metal contacts.
