Definition: A bundle of thin sticks, typically made of wood, sometimes bond in such a way that binding can be moved so that it varies the tightness of the binding.

Alright class, settle down now, let’s take a look! That dictionary definition is quite precise and detailed, isn't it? It describes a switch , but what does it really mean in our everyday lives? Let’s break it down. Think about this: A “bundle of thin sticks” – that’s the core idea. But those sticks aren’t just lying there! They're designed to be moved, to change how they work. A switch is something that can quickly change a connection - on or off. It’s like flipping a light on and off , changing the flow of electricity – that’s a simple switch in action! Or think about a lever on a train, it switches the track to lead you where you want to go. The dictionary says "binding can be moved." That means the way things are connected can be adjusted. A tight binding might mean something is firmly ‘on,’ while a looser one lets things flow more freely – like ‘off’. So, in short, a switch controls something, and it changes that control quickly. Do you have any questions about this? Let’s see if we can think of some other examples where we use switches… perhaps a light switch, or even the way a computer turns programs on and off!
