Information Technology and Microelectronics

Part of the "Science Scene" series, this book covers the way IT can help us to carry out experiments, to store, process and communicate information. The first section is divided into double page spreads to introduce important concepts. Related questions and short activities encourage students to develop an understanding of these ideas, often using the skills required by AT 1, "The Exploration of Science". The second part consists of longer, more varied activities through which students can develop their skills and understanding more fully. All aspects of the topic are considered in the context of their social, economic and technological implications.
