Currents from the kitchen lab

1. Prediction:

Which fruit will produce the most electric voltage?

I think the lemon will have the strongest voltage

Why?

Because it is more acidic properties

Observations:

The apple produced a 1.5 volt charge.

The Grape produces 2.5 volt charge But 0 when laying down because the nail was touching the table

The lemon produces a 2 volt charge.

  • What kind of circuit will produce electron flow in your fruit/vegetable cell?  A series circuit
  • If your bulb doesn’t glow, how can you find out if electrons are flowing?   Look at the voltage meter to see if it has changed
  • If your bulb doesn’t glow, why not?  There could not be enough charge/electrons
  • How can we modify our experiment to improve our results?  We could use a bigger variety of fruits and more acidic ones.
  • What is causing electrons to flow in this experiment? The electrolytes and acid
  • How can I use this in my everyday life? You can make a small battery in a time of need
