Soil Moisture Sensor
In this simulation, students explore how a Soil Moisture Sensor measures the moisture level in soil. They can connect the sensor to a power supply and an LED module, then insert the probe into dry or wet soil to observe how the LED responds. This activity introduces the basics of soil moisture sensing and demonstrates how these sensors are used in smart irrigation systems and precision agriculture.
