Ms. Smith Mrs. Malone Energy Transformations Block Day Question: Can citrus fruits be used as a weak battery because of their acidity? Hypothesis: A ___________ will generate a strong enough electrical current to power a light emitting diode (LED) because it has a __________ pH. Materials: 1 citrus fruit per group (lemon, lime, or orange) microammeter mini LED bulbs with 5 cm wire leads galvanized zinc nails copper roofing nails alligator clips (2 per group) electrical tape :
Ms. Smith Mrs. Malone Energy Transformations Block Day Procedures: 1. Set the fruit on a table and gently roll it around to soften it up. You want the juice to be flowing inside the fruit without breaking its skin. Do not break the skin! 2. Insert the zinc and copper nails into the fruit so that they are about 5 cm apart. You don't want them to be touching each other. Do not let the copper and zinc touch inside your fruit! Do not poke the zinc or copper through the other side of your fruit! 3. Wrap the negative lead (wire coming off of the LED bulb) around the zinc nail. The negative lead will be marked by a small flat spot on the circular base of the LED.Make sure you connect the correct lead to the negative terminal, or YOU WILL BURN OUT THE LED AND YOUR EXPERIMENT WILL NOT WORK! Use electrical tape to keep the wire from falling off the nail. 4. Wrap the other lead (the other wire coming off of the light bulb) around the copper nail. Use electrical tape to keep the wire from falling off the nail. 5. Your bulb should now be lit. 6. You will now use the microammeter to measure the current of your battery. Connect one of the microammeter's terminals to the copper nail with the alligator clip. 7. Connect the other terminal of the micro ammeter terminal to the zinc nail with the alligator clip. 8. Record the current of your fruit battery on the class data table. :

Ms. Smith Mrs. Malone Energy Transformations Block Day Conclusion (answer in complete sentences): Which type of fruit made the best battery? Back up your answer with data from the class data table. Why did we use the microameter to measure the current of each fruit battery instead of just comparing the brightness of the bulbs to one another? We used citrus fruits. Which chemical property do citrus fruits have that makes them ideal batteries? What other fruits and vegetables might you try that would work as batteries? How does pH (acidity) affect the fruit battery's strength? Write a conclusion for this lab that summarizes your findings. :
