About this lesson: In this engaging robotics-linked lesson, students explore basic circuit components - buzzers, light bulbs, motors, switches, and batteries - while building real-world understanding through hands-on tasks and digital activities.

Using simple breadboards and visual prompts, learners identify each component and discover how electricity flows through open and closed circuits. With built-in assessment tools and interactive games, teachers can confidently deliver STEM and robotics foundations without needing an engineering background. This lesson supports computational thinking in a fun and structured format.
