Students will learn how the Hexi Carousel Bot works using a direct battery connection. The teacher will first explain the concept and show how a battery can power the motor to make the carousel move.
Then, step-by-step, the children will connect the battery and motor to complete the circuit. Once connected, the Hexi carousel starts rotating, helping them understand how a simple battery connection creates movement.
This lesson introduces the concept of controlling the Hexi Carousel Bot using a direct battery connection. It demonstrates how a simple electrical connection can power a motor and create rotation in the carousel.
In this activity, the Hexi Carousel Bot is connected to a battery and motor. When the battery is connected, the motor rotates and the Hexi carousel starts spinning, showing how a basic battery-powered circuit can create movement.
Through this activity, you will explore:
Basic understanding of battery-powered circuits
How a motor creates rotational movement
How simple components can power a robot mechanism
