Children's Science - Build a Flashlight

In this activity from the MysteryScience blog, students are introduced to electricity as a form of energy. In the activity, Build a Flashlight, students investigate how electrical energy requires a circuit and make their own mini flashlights from LEDs, button batteries, and strips of aluminum foil. Along the way, they’ll learn about the anatomy of a battery, begin to see how circuits work, and discover how handy an on-off switch can be.

Children's Science - How to Make a Lemon Battery

Earliest forms of batteries were made towards the end of 18th century. In fact, it was in the year 1799 AD that the first battery was made by Alessandro Volta. Since then, batteries have been improvised time and again; and are used to operate many different machines. Basic principle used in the working of a battery is the transfer of electrons from one electrode to the other when they are dipped in a chemical solution that conducts electricity. The lemon battery made at home also makes use of this principle. This activity provides straight-forward directions for making a lemon battery. Enjoy at ...
