📋 How to Do This Activity

Step 1

Draw any picture or design on the projector sheet using a pencil — plan where the LED will go.

Step 2

Lay copper tape along the pencil lines to create the circuit tracks.

Step 3

Place the LED with positive leg on one copper track and negative leg on the other.

Step 4

Slide the coin cell battery between the two copper tracks where they cross to complete the circuit.

Step 5

Watch the LED light up inside your art — the copper tape conducts electricity to power the LED.

⚠️ Safety Notes

• Handle LED legs carefully as they are sharp
• Do not short circuit the battery — keep the two copper tracks from touching except at the battery
• The 3V coin cell is safe but keep away from young children who may swallow it
• Adult supervision recommended when working with the coin cell battery
