Soldering by Mr. Andrew Mcloughlin

Mr. Andrew made a power point presentation on soldering. He began by explaining about LDR’s. He went on to inform the participants about the proper safety measures to follow while using the soldering iron. After the teams were briefed, they were allowed to open the boxes that contained the materials used, to make a stick figure. They had to cut a wire into six equal pieces and turn the soldering iron on. The iron took five to ten minutes to heat up so they had to prepare other materials. The ends of each strip had to be stripped off using a wire stripper. After the ends were bare, the participants used the soldering iron to weld the wires together. Next, the students bent and twisted the wires into stick figures.
