Fruity Batteries in Year 6!

🔋  🍊🍏🍌

As part of our Science learning on electricity, Year 6 investigated how fruit can be used to make a battery! By carefully inserting zinc and copper into different fruits, we discovered that a chemical reaction takes place, producing a flow of electricity.

We then used a voltmeter to measure the voltage created by each fruit. Some fruits, like lemons, produced more voltage than others – showing us how science can be surprising and fun.

The children were fascinated to see that everyday items, such as fruit, can create electricity and even power small devices.
