• Power Source: The battery gives power to the LED.

                     • Resistor: The resistor protects the LED from getting too much power.


                     • Jumper Wires: These help the power move from the battery to the
                     LED, making it light up.

                  Observation


                  After putting all the parts on the magnetic board and connecting them
                  with the USB cable and jumper wires, the LED lights up brightly. Students

                  will observe that if the jumper wires are not connected properly, the LED

                  will not glow. They will also notice that the LED light stays on as long as
                  the battery is connected, showing how power flows through each part to
                  make the light work.


                  Application


                  Night lights: These small lights use LEDs
                  to  gently  light  up  a  room  or  hallway  at
                  night. Just like in the activity.


                  Portable Fan Model


                  A portable fan model is a simple, small fan that you can carry around to
                  stay cool wherever you go.


                  It's a great way to understand how fans work and how electricity can

                  power machines.

                  Components of Portable Fan Model


                  Following are the components of portable fan model:

                     • Motor: A motor is a small machine that makes things move. When you
                                                     connect a battery, the motor spins, which can

                                                     make things like wheels or fans move.



                     •  Fan: A fan is a small thing that spins when connected to
                     a motor. It moves air and keeps things cool, just like a

                     bigger fan you might have at home.
