Lemon Battery
WHAT WILL YOU MAKE?
Did you know that you can make a battery using lemons? With just five lemons, some coins, screws, and copper wire, you can make an electric current flow around a circuit with enough energy to illuminate a small lamp called a light emitting diode (LED). Now just imagine what you could power with one hundred lemons!
Materials:
- 5 lemons
- 6 short electrical wires with clips at each end
- 5 copper coins
- Sharp knife
- 5 galvanized screws
- LEDs (at least one color)
