(Enviro-Battery Kit
With this kit you can make a battery from a potato, lemon, water, coins, or even a cup of dirt or a potted plant! Experiments in this Green Science Kit include making a potato-powered clock, a lemon-powered LED bulb, and a soil-powered sound chip (it sings like a bird!). Using the included sets of zinc and copper plates, you can experiment with many more ingredients, even soda pop!Lots of experiment ideas as well as fun facts are included in the illustrated instructions. The kit also has a sheet to record the results of the experiments you try. An LED, sound chip, and digital watch are included to use with your homemade batteries.
