Like a Door
Turning Things On and Off
You use switches all day long. The light switch on your wall is a switch. It turns the lights on or off. Your phone has switches too, like when you tap the screen to turn it on or off.
Switches are simple, but they're super important. They help us control things in our world, just like how you control your toy car with a button!
Examples
- A doorbell switch rings the bell when you press it.
