Soldering station

A soldering station is like a special tool that can help you connect two things together, like wires or metal pieces.

Imagine you have two separate puzzle pieces, but you need to make them stick together. That's where a soldering station can help.

First, you need to heat up a special metal called solder. This is done by turning on the soldering station and waiting for it to get hot.

Once the solder is melted, you can use a special tool, kind of like a small pen, to put a small amount of solder on one of the puzzle pieces.

Then, you use the hot pen tool to touch the other puzzle piece and melt the solder between them. As the solder cools down, it will harden and create a strong bond between the two pieces.

This process is called soldering, and a soldering station makes it easier and safer to do. It's like having a special tool that helps you glue things together in a way that makes them stay together for a long time.
