How Do You Make An Electricity Science Project?
Creating a science project which involves electricity is a great focus for kids as the possibilities for projects are not only endless, but you can tailor them to accommodate a variety of grade levels. The following project allows children to learn through hands-on experience how a lemon converts chemical energy into electrical energy. Children will not only understand how this happens but will be able to demonstrate the process to other people and show how they can use two lemons to power a digital watch. Strip the rubber, plastic or other insulation off 4 inches of copper wire with your knife. Cut two pieces of 2-inch copper wire once stripped. Straighten two paper clips and cut two pieces of straightened paper clip, so each is 2 inches long. Buff any rough patches on the ends of the wire with a piece of sandpaper. Squeeze the lemons a little bit, but don’t break the peel. Alternatively, you can roll the lemons around on a table Push a piece of paper clip and copper wire into each le
