Technology Application 2: A Lemon Battery


In this activity, students perform an application experiment using food! Ever hear the old saying, "When life hands you a lemon, make lemonade!" Well today, when you hand the students a lemon, they are going to make a battery. Students will design a battery with a lemon to try and light a bulb. They will be able to use Vernier to measure the voltage. This is a fun activity after going through electrochemistry and how a battery works.

Materials for the lab:
