IV. Procedure
A. Preparation
Greet the students and ask Mr. Bejuco to lead the prayer. After the prayer the students
should pick-up the pieces of trash and arrange their chairs. Check the attendance.

B. Motivation
Ask the student if what comes on their mind if the hear the word design, how will they feel
if they are given a chance to make their own design.

C. Lesson Proper
Printed Circuit Board or PCB is a card made specifically for attaching electronic
components. Most of electronic device has PCB, it serves as the backbone of the Device.
PCB serves two purpose
1. It is a place to Mount Components
2. It Provides the means of electrical Component

The PCB has two sides, the Substrate and the Copper Trace.

The Substrate physically holds the circuit components and printed wires in place and
provides electrical insulation between conductive parts.

While the Copper Trace is for connecting the electricity between the electronic
components.

D. Activity

Safety Precaution

1. Remove all jewelry when performing the activity.

2. Eating and Drinking is prohibited.
3. Avoid Horse playing.
4. Be familiar with the tools and chemical to be used.
5. Do not perform the activity unless the instructor told you to do so.
6. If accident happens, report immediately to the instructor.

Follow and perform the step by step process of PCB Designing.

 1. Prepare the materials Needed, we will be using Masking tape, cutter, Pentel Pen,
PCB, Ferric Chloride Plastic Container.
2. Cover the PCB with Masking Tape
3. Draw up the Layout
4. Carefully trace the design using cutter and remove the excess Masking Tape.
5. Subject to Etching Process.
For the etching process, Put enough amount of ferric chloride to the container to
submerge the PCB.
Usually the Etching process takes 15-20 mins.
6. Rinse the PCB with water.
7. Remove the masking tape with the design.

E. Generalization
PCB is very important in every device we use. It is said that PCB is the backbone of each
electronic device we use. There are 7 steps in PCB designing
1. Prepare the materials Needed,
2. Cover the PCB with Masking Tape
3. Draw up the Layout
4. Carefully trace the design using cutter and remove the excess Masking Tape.
5. Subject to Etching Process.
6. Rinse the PCB with water.
7. Remove the masking tape with the design.

V. Evaluation
Direction: Read the following questions and write the answer to the space provided.
I. Identification
________1. It is the backbone of electronic devices.
________2. It provides the electrical needs of the electronic components.
________3. It holds and provide insulation to the electronic components.
II. Enumeration
4-10 7 steps in PCB Designing
VI. Assignment
A. Follow up assignment
1. Research about different design of PBC.
2. Per group, Submit each PCB with the holes already drilled.
B. Advance Assignment
1. Read about Soldering a Component.
