Getting a Charge Out of Electricity

Lemon Battery

Banana Battery

This past week we were conducting some electricity tests.  Most of us were not shocked with the results.  We used many household items as well as LEDs, alligator clips, 6V battery, and a voltmeter.   While doing this, the students are also learning about the steps of the scientific method.  It has been an enlightening experience!  Ask your child about it!
