Vegetable Battery
Malakasa Science Lab
Description :
Vegetable battery is not an easy experiment! This was the first science activity of the Malakasa Science Lab, and we understand that Mr. Alexandros’ team has set the bar really high. An electric circuit was created, connecting different metals, iron and copper and a LED lamp. Lemons were initially used, many many lemons and the LED gave a faint light. Yet a more impressive result was given by the potatoes!
The electrical energy comes from the transformation of the chemical energy available in a battery. The chemical reaction between the two electrodes, the iron and copper, happens thanks to the medium that connects them, the electrolyte, here the vegetable juice, and produces the electrons to move inside the circuit. Congratulations Malakasa Science Lab!

Hello everyone! We are Malakasa Science Lab team from the Malakasa refugee
camp. We come from Afghanistan, Iraq, Kuweit and Syria. It was a great pleasure to
participate in the Science United Festival as we got to experiment with the help of our
teacher and see the awesome projects and ideas from other teams. As our first
experience with science, we can definitely say it was super!

Wow!! We love this experiment. It was actually one of the first ones we did ourselves, and we know it is very difficult for it to work. And you did it! We are so proud of your work. Keep surprising us with new experiments :D

Wow! This is one of my favourite experiments, I am very impressed. You were able to combine chemistry and physics to create clean energy.
My dear future physicists and chemists, you have a very bright future!
With Love,
Jamal
