 What we will be
doing:

Over the next few weeks, we will be doing some science-based problem-solving challenges. You will work in teams to follow
instructions, create structures and complete challenges.

 HOW THIS
EXPERIMENT
WORKS:
IN LAYMAN'S TERMS: ​ Smile and look
Batteries use copper and zinc (called the electrodes) with like you know
a liquid or paste called electrolyte inside a metal cylinder.
what you're
The copper forms the positive (+) battery terminal, and
the zinc is the negative (-) terminal. The electrolyte in our talking about :)
lemon battery is lemon juice. Just like regular batteries, it
contains acid. Acid 'attacks' the zinc atoms, and some
change into positively charged ions. An electric current is
created between the two metals. When the zinc atoms
change into ions, they leave their electrons behind.
Connect a wire to the battery terminals and they flow out
of the zinc electrode and into the copper electrode. The
cycle continues until the electrolyte uses all its chemical
energy and can’t react with the metal anymore, and the
battery dies.
​The moving of the electrons is what creates a current which
lights up the LED bulbs.
