Output

In the basic car activity, when the battery is powered on, the DC motor spins

and moves the car in a straight line. The car moves forward or stops when the
switch is turned on or off, demonstrating how electric circuits, motors, and
mechanical movement work together to create motion.

Concepts

1. Electric Circuits and Motors: You will explore how electric power from the
battery makes the DC motor run, which causes the wheels of the car to
move. This teaches them the concept of how electrical energy is converted

into mechanical motion.

2. Switch Control and Motion: The switch allows you to control when the car
moves or stops by completing or breaking the circuit. This introduces the

concept of simple circuits and how switches function in electronic devices.

Observation

In the basic car activity, You will observe how the car moves in a straight line
when the switch is turned on, allowing electricity to power the motor. They will

notice that the car stops when the switch is turned off, as the circuit is broken
