Task 1
Do the quiz to see how you are coming on.
Task 2 - The Zombies Are Coming!
The zombie apocalypse has finally come to pass. Design a zombie detection system that will alert you to the approach of a zombie.
Your house is surrounded by a fence but you need to leave gaps for transport to get in and out, so a circuit based system is your only choice (see picture below).
To do this go to http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/circuit-construction-kit-dc and click run now.
Test your design ideas first including setting the current, resistances of any resistors used and the vltage of the power supply
When you are done, post it and link it in the comments section for peer review.
