STEM activity for 7-11 year olds

We want participants to engage in a hands-on electrochemistry activity-- building their own battery. The first battery was built by Alessandro Volta in 1800, long before we had cell phones to power. With some household items, you can build this battery yourself!
Participants will use: zinc washers, copper washers, felt or construction paper disks, vinegar, 2 alligator clips, copper wire, plastic tweezers and an LED light. The battery will be assembled on an acrylic stand with supervision.

Create your own colorful masterpieces using a real robot! Watch in awe as the robot dispenses vibrant color into fun patterns, and then use special paper to see the colors magically separate and spread. It's a super fun way to learn about chromatography and unleash your inner artist!
