Logic Gates: AND, OR, NOT
Students learn how AND, OR, and NOT gates form the basis of all digital computation and process binary inputs.
Key Questions
- Explain how simple on/off switches can perform complex mathematical calculations.
- Predict what happens to a system if a single logic gate fails.
- Translate a real-world decision into a Boolean expression using AND, OR, NOT.
