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.
