    Teacher's Instruction:
    1. Introduce students to different AI search methods like text search, voice search, and image search, and explain that each one works in a different way.
    2. Show how tools work like Google Search, Voice Search, and Google Lens before starting the activity.
    3. Ask students to observe how results change when they use text, voice, or image, and think about how AI understands each input.
    4. Explain simply that AI does not really “understand” like humans. It finds patterns in text, speech, and images.
    5. Discuss real-life uses, like finding plants, objects, places, or unknown things using smart search tools.
    6. Encourage comparison between normal text search and AI search, by thinking about speed, accuracy, ease, and problems.
    7. Focus AI Concept:
