Did you know you can make a battery out of a lemon? The Fruit Power SEEDKIT is a hands-on activity designed to help students learn how electricity is conducted. This kit can be used to conduct a school workshop or as part of a larger collaborative workshop. You can also lead a short workshop at any school in your area, or do a science project with your own kids at home.
This SEEDKIT includes an introductory video, instructional videos, workshop outline, slide presentation, and laboratories and articles from the SEED online science center, as well as most of the supplies needed to build your battery. You will need to obtain some items on your own, including lemons and other fruits or vegetables.
