 Objective
In this project my team want to understand how to make a electric circuit
which is used to power a small fan and also we want to know how electric
circuits work. For that goal we will do the research and do experiment as well.
We also want to share our experiment so the experiment that we do can help
other people.

Background
Our background are we want to know how to make simple electric
circuit and how to apply it in real life. We want to learn further about the
transfer of energy from a source to an electrical appliance.

Concept and theory

The stored chemical energy in the battery converts to electrical energy,

which travels out of the battery and into the motor which then powers the fan
and causes it to spin. Then, the electric current re-enters the battery, but at the
opposite end from where it came out originally.
There are two electrodes in every battery. Both are made of conductive
materials, but they serve different roles. One electrode, known as the cathode,
connects to the positive end of the battery and is where the electrical current
leaves (or electrons enter) the battery during discharge, which is when the
battery is being used to power something. The other electrode, known as the
anode, connects to the negative end of the battery and is where the electrical
current enters (or electrons leave) the battery during discharge.
All of the parts of the battery work together to make the fan turn on. The
electrodes in the battery contain atoms of certain conducting materials. For
instance, in an alkaline battery, the anode is typically made of zinc, and
manganese dioxide acts as the cathode. And the electrolyte between and inside
those electrodes contains ions. When these ions meet up with the electrodes'
atoms, certain electrochemical reactions take place between the ions and the
electrodes' atoms.
The free electrons congregate inside the anode (the bottom, flat part of an
alkaline battery). As a result, the two electrodes have different charges: The
anode becomes negatively charged as electrons are released, and the cathode
becomes positively charged as electrons (which are negatively charged) are
consumed. This difference in charge causes the electrons to want to move
toward the positively charged cathode. However, they don't have a way to get
there inside the battery because the separator prevents them from doing so.
When you flick the switch on your fan, all that changes. The electrons now have a
path to get to the cathode. The circuit is completed when the electric current re-
enters the battery through the top of the battery at the cathode.
 Experiment

Equipment and tools :

 Wire
 Battery
 Cardboard / a piece of wood
 Plastic bottle
 Cutter
 Glue gun
 Electric switch

Procedure :

1. Prepare all the equipment and materials needed for this experiment.
2. Cut the plastic bottle into the shape of a fan.
3. Create a stand for the fan and glue in on the cardboard base
4. Attach the motor on the stand and attach the plastic fan.
5. Glue the battery onto the cardboard base.
6. Connect a piece of wire from the battery (positive end) connecting to the
motor.
7. Also connect a wire from the motor back to the battery (negative end) but
attach a switch between it.
8. Turn on the switch
