Special Problems: ____None._________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ VI. Overall Evaluation/Results (Be Specific): The event was fun, but had low attendance. I feel that the event was well advertised and low attendance was because the event took place on a Wednesday in order to get college night pricing at the bowling alley. It would have been better if we were playing on a weekend, but then it would have been more expensive. My recommendation is that in the future people should sign up for the event to make sure we have higher attendance, or the event should be planned on the weekend and members should contribute to the fee.

Activity: Homemade batteries

• We will make batteries using the zinc-copper cell

– Zinc from galvanized steel sheeting ($1/sheet at Home Depot)

– Copper from pennies– Acetic acid (just vinegar!) and

hydrogen peroxide electrolyte, both available at the grocery store!

• Stack them up and measure the voltage, then try to light up your LEDs!

– 2 cells will light red LED, 3 cells needed for blue LED

• Read your instruction handout to build your batteries and run experiments

Zinc

Copper

Vinegar soaked paper towel

Each sandwich forms a single cell – stack multiple on top of

each other for “series” connection: higher voltage
