One Childhood - One Chance

6R Potato Batteries!

Today 6R investigated electricity by trying to create a circuit using potatoes as batteries!

The children were given: wires, a zinc nail, a copper coin, a potato and an LED bulb and had to investigate how to create a working circuit using these components. They did an excellent job at discussing the flow of electrons around their circuit and used 8 potatoes to light the bulb! Great teamwork 6R!
