For my fruit power project, I will test lemons, limes, and oranges to see which fruit produces light and which fruit has the highest measured voltage. These citrus fruits contain special acids that can generate a tiny amount of electricity when we put two different metals into the fruit. I will use zinc nails and copper wire to create a circuit. Then we connect each fruit with a circuit to see if a light bulb lights and measure the voltage with a voltmeter. I will compare each fruit to see whether the light turns on and how much voltage it produces. My experiment will help see how some fruits make more electricity than others based on how acidic the fruit is.
The ability to communicate your ideas effectively makes your work standout. Your idea is testable and I like your illustrations/photos. Keep it up.
Great job testing how different fruits produce electricity. I like how you used zinc and copper to create a circuit and measured the voltage carefully. Your clear results show that lemons produce the most electricity because of their acidity
