1. Document that explains the chosen concept to the animator

2. Intrinsic Semiconductors
Any chemically pure semiconductor has properties which are characteristic of the material alone. Such a material is called an “intrinsic semiconductor.”In the intrinsic case, conduction band electrons can only have come from formerly occupied valence band levels, leaving holes behind them.

5. IMPORTANT NOTE TO THE ANIMATOR:
All the instructions/labels or anything WRITTEN in blue are CONTENT NOT TO BE DISPLAYED!
All the instructions WRITTEN in black are CONTENT TO BE DISPLAYED!
This is not applicable for images as there can be overlapping of these colours there. This should be followed for all the instructions,labels,etc…
Kindly keep a note of this while displaying text in the animation.

Explain the process 2
In this step, use an example to explain the concept. It can be an analogy, a scenario, or an action which explains this concept/process/topic
Try to use examples from day-to-day life to make it more clear
You have to describe what steps the animator should take to make your concept come alive as a series of moving images.
Keep the examples simple to understand, and also to illustrate/animate. 3 4 5

12. Stepwise description of process1
The goal of the document is to provide instructions to an animator who is not a expert.
You have to describe what steps the animator should take to make your concept come alive as a moving visualization.
Use one slide per step. This will ensure clarity of the explanation.
Add a image of the step in the box, and the details in the table below the box.
You can use any images for reference, but mention about it's copyright status
The animator will have to re-draw / re-create the drawings
Add more slides as per the requirement of the animation 2 3 4 5

22. Self- Assessment Questionnaire for Learners
INSTRUCTIONS SLIDE
Self- Assessment Questionnaire for Learners
Please provide a set of questions that a user can answer based on the LO. They can be of the following types:
These questions should be 5 in number and can be of objective type (like MCQ, Match the columns, Yes or No, Sequencing, Odd One Out).
The questions can also be open-ended. The user would be asked to think about the question. The author is requested to provide hints if possible, but a full answer is not necessary.
One can include questions, for which the user will need to interact with the LO (with certain parameters) in order to answer it.

23. Questionnaire for users to test their understanding
INSTRUCTIONS SLIDE
Questionnaire for users to test their understanding
Please make sure that the questions can be answered by interacting with the LO. It is better to avoid questions based purely on recall.

24. Questionnaire
1. What is the difference in the energy band diagrams for room temperature and at a temperature much above room temperature?
Answers: a) At room temperature, lesser number of electrons are excited to the conduction band as compared to much above room temperature
b) At room temperature, more number of electrons are excited to the conduction band as compared to much above room temperature c) there is no difference in diagrams at different temperatures d)electrons are not excited to the conduction band at room temperature but they start getting excited at temperatures much above room temperature.
Answers:1) a
Feedback:
If user clicks correct answer then display “Correct! Make sure you can explain the reasoning!”
If user clicks incorrect answer then display “Have a look at the simulation and Try again!”

25. Questionnaire Answers:2) c Feedback:
2. Why is there more current at higher temperatures?
Answers: a) more number of electrons in the valence band b) lesser number of electrons getting excited from the valence band to the conduction band
c) more number of electrons getting excited from the valence band to the conduction band d)‏ cannot say.
Answers:2) c
Feedback:
If user clicks correct answer then display “Correct! Make sure you can explain the reasoning!”
If user clicks incorrect answer then display “Have a look at the simulation and Try again!”

26. Questionnaire Answers:3) b Feedback:
3. The fact there are more number of electrons in the conduction band at higher temperatures is due to which of the following reasons?
Answers: a) the crystal contains more number of electrons at higher temperatures
b) as the temperature is raised, there exists more energy which causes more number of electrons to get excited c) Both a and b.
d)‏ At higher temperatures, there exist collisions between the electrons, which causes more number of electrons to get excited to the conduction band.
Answers:3) b
Feedback:
If user clicks correct answer then display “Correct! Make sure you can explain the reasoning!”
If user clicks incorrect answer then display “Have a look at the simulation and Try again!”

27. Questionnaire Answers:4)d Feedback:
4. Why are Si and Ge called ‘INTRINSIC’ Semiconductors??
Answers: a) Since they conduct electricity at room temperatures
b) Since they do not conduct electricity at absolute zero c) Both a and b.
d)‏ Since they are chemically pure and have properties which are characteristic of the material alone.
Answers:4)d
Feedback:
If user clicks correct answer then display “Correct! Make sure you can explain the reasoning!”
If user clicks incorrect answer then display “Have a look at the simulation and Try again!”

28. Open ended questions:
What happens when more number of electrons are excited from the valence band to the conduction band at higher temperatures?
What do think happens to the electrons and holes in the valence band once any electron gets excited from the valence band to the conduction band??
(Hint1:Watch the animation on ‘Conductivity in Intrinsic Semiconductors’ to get an idea…
Hint2:Watch the animation on Hole current to get an idea…)
(Note to the animator:Show hint1 for question1 and hint 2 for question 2.Show these as clickable buttons next to the question so that when the user clicks on it,she will be able to view it..)This note is for the reference of the animator and it is not to be shown on screen.

Summary
Please provide points to remember to understand the concept/ key terms of the animation
The summary will help the user in the quick review of the concept.

31. Summary
Any chemically pure semiconductor has properties which are characteristic of the material alone. Such a material is called an “intrinsic semiconductor.”
More number of electrons get excited to the conduction band at higher temperatures and hence more current flows through the circuit.
