This hands-on activity demonstrates how chemical energy can be converted into electrical energy to drive a motor. Key learning outcomes include understanding ionic conductivity, the role of electrodes, and the basic operation of a galvanic cell. Students also develop problem-solving skills and an appreciation for sustainable energy sources through practical experimentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n  \u003cdiv class=\"stem-section\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eDesigned for upper primary and lower secondary students, specifically Years 5 to 8.

Additional materials required: table salt, water, and a small screwdriver (not included).\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n  \u003cdiv class=\"stem-section\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eClassroom Setup \u0026amp; Requirements\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eEach student or pair requires a flat workspace with access to a saltwater solution (easily prepared by dissolving table salt in tap water). No mains power is needed – the fan operates solely on the chemical reaction. Recommended for groups of 2-3 students for collaborative learning. Setup time is approximately 15-20 minutes, with the experiment running for 30-45 minutes. Ensure adequate ventilation if using multiple kits simultaneously. All components are reusable; replacement electrode strips can be ordered separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n  \u003cdiv class=\"stem-section\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eSupport \u0026amp; Warranty\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eAll Stemology products are backed by a 12-month warranty covering manufacturing defects and component failures under normal classroom use.
