Making a battery

We have all used a battery but have you ever stopped to think about what makes a battery? During today's inquiry we assembled and tested a battery. Don't worry if your light bulb did not light. As long as you saw some "stuff" on the zinc, it worked. We will discuss what that "stuff" is tomorrow and how it all works.

For homework be sure the following is completed:

• Draw a diagram of your battery and label each part.
• Answer reflection questions A-E on pg 15.
• Read pgs 16-17 and answer questions 1-3 on page 17.
