Predictions: I think that the fruit that will produce the most electric voltage will be the lemon, lime, or apple

Why: The Lemon and apple both have higher acidic content than the other fruits

For our test, we used two different kinds of applesĀ and a grape. the apples behaved similarly and nothing really changed between them. I think this is because it was the same fruit, and a different kind of fruit does not change the amount of acid inside it. But the grape created a higher electric charge than the apples. I didn’t think this would happen because of the small size of the grape, but my guess is that it is more acidic than the apples were.

Q: how can we modify our experiment to get better results?

If we do research on which fruits contain the highest pH levels, we can find out which ones would be most useful in this experiment, and we wouldn’t have to test each one to find out.

Q: if your bulb doesn’t glow, why not?

If the bulb doesn’t glow, then the charge through the fruits is not high enough, or enough isn’t getting through.
