has been the pattern in U. S. education. The developers of theStandards propose that fewer topics be taught to a deeper conceptual level, so that studentsdevelop an understanding of the big ideas, which can then be applied to other areas. Oneemphasis of the science Standards is on teaching science as a process of inquiry, honoringstudents’ prior understanding of the natural world around them and building upon that byallowing students to investigate questions they themselves frame. When teachers and schooldistricts develop their science and math core curriculum around the Standards, a more coherentprogram of instruction emerges; equity for all students and excellence of instruction areachievable

After this,the home teams have a design project thatincorporates all of the concepts covered.The hands on modules are small scale apparatusmounted on wheeled stands along with a whiteboard.The resulting unit is roughly six feet tall and four feetwide.

Robots designed,built, and programmed by students participate in a competition at the end of the course.The course is divided into two sections: one on microcontrollers and the other on robotics. In thefirst section students work with Microchip Technology, Inc.'s PIC18F452 microcontroller and aninexpensive trainer called the QwikFlash2 that contains the microcontroller wired up to severalswitches, LEDs, a potentiometer, a liquid crystal display

ConclusionNowadays, cell phones are one the most popular wireless devices with numerous capabilities,and the concept of using a cell phone to alert owners of security breaches to their vehicles hasbeen used in similar projects in the past. However, the results of this project verified that thesame goal can be accomplished by employing a timer module to provide the equivalent functionsof the more expensive and complex systems that require extensive computer programmingcode(s) and/or hardware to operate properly. Furthermore, production cost and effectiveness ofthis idea were the major parameters of this project, and the timer module proved to
