Microcontroller Logic & Sensor Inputs Scaffolded Phenomena-Based Lesson: The 'Haunted' Floating Switch Pin. The 4.88 mV ADC Step & The Smoked 40 mA GPIO Pin Presentation | Introduction to Technology and Engineering | Grades 9–12

This is the student-facing slide presentation that introduces the phenomenon, walks the class through observations and driving questions, and frames the evidence students will use for the Scaffolded Phenomena-Based Lesson in the Introduction to Technology and Engineering (grades 9–12) chapter Microcontroller Logic & Sensor Inputs, built around the phenomenon The 'Haunted' Floating Switch Pin. The 4.88 mV ADC Step & The Smoked 40 mA GPIO Pin. This scaffolded version adds sentence frames and extra supports for students who need them. It is sold separately from the other two parts of the set.

Complete the set: Microcontroller Logic & Sensor Inputs Scaffolded Phenomena-Based Lesson: The 'Haunted' Floating Switch Pin. The 4.88 mV ADC Step & The Smoked 40 mA GPIO Pin Teacher Discussion Guide; Microcontroller Logic & Sensor Inputs Scaffolded Phenomena-Based Lesson: The 'Haunted' Floating Switch Pin.
