Ham Radio 101 at Granite Bay Montessori School

摘要

When I got the opportunity to teach a hands-on science program to 4th through 8th grade students at Granite Bay (California) Montessori School I decided I would stress the teaching of physics and physical science (see Figure 1). Interfacing with the Ham Community One of the requirements for the ETP grant was to get a local ham club involved to support the project To meet the requirement I approached the River City Amateur Radio Communication Society (RCARCS) (www. n6na.org/HomePage). Three science fair projects this school year were ham radio related and placed high in both the engineering and the math and computer science categories at the Sacramento Regional Science Fair.3 We have received another grant from the ARRL to add a 130 W photovoltaic solar panel to our station, which provides 100 percent of the power to run our HF transceiver, our 2 meter transceiver and our 70 cm repeater.
