Science Experiment: Make a Lemon Battery
Things needed:
1. A strip of copper
2. A strip of zinc
3. A juicy lemon
4. A galvanometer
5. A sharp knife
6. Some copper wire
Step 1: Roll the lemon firmly on a hard surface to make it soft and juicy
Step 2: Cut two slits in the lemon
Step 3: Put a strip of copper in one slit and a strip of zinc in the other slit
Step 4: Use the copper wire to connect the strips to the galvanometer
