What you need:

  • 1 lemon
  • 1 copper nail, screw, or wire, roughly 2 inches in length
  • A zinc nail, screw, or galvanized nail, roughly 2 inches in length
  • 1 holiday light with a 2-in. lead (basically, enough wire to connect the two nails)

Four simple steps to your fruit battery success:

  1. Press down (gently) on your lemon and roll it around on a table to get the juices flowing inside it. You want it to be soft, but you don’t want to break the skin.
  2. Insert both nails into the lemon, about 2 inches apart. Be sure they aren’t touching each other, and don’t let them puncture through the other side of your lemon.
  3. Remove the insulation from around the holiday light’s

lead, exposing the bare wire beneath.

      4.Wrap the exposed wire around both the copper nail and zinc nail.

What do you think will happen to the light bulb?

Write your prediction and remember to include why you think that.

After the experiment, explain the result in your book.

What can you conclude from that?
