Boolean Algebra (HS)
Logic circuits are the basis for modern digital computer systems. To appreciate how computer
systems operate one will need to understand digital logic and Boolean algebra. In this lesson,
students will be introduced to various properties of Boolean algebra and will learn how digital
circuits operate.

- understand and perform various binary operations such as addition (OR), multiplication
(AND), and negation (NOT)
- apply Boolean properties
- develop logical truth table based on Boolean equations
- build and test the Boolean digital lock circuit using a trainer kit, and verify its truth table.
