How to make a battery yourself?
Batteries we have in all kinds and sizes, they have actually become indispensable. We use them for everyday things like the wall clock, hand games consoles, keyboard, flashlight, watch, etc. You probably have things yourself, which only works on such a handy battery. Did you know that you can easily generate electricity yourself?
Volta is the inventor of the battery, and its name is still called every day. How did he find out you could put power in a tube? You can see that in this interesting video from SchoolTV. You'll know exactly how Volta discovered the battery!
Alessandro Volta was a doctor and discovered in 1786 that there was electricity between two metal plates and salt water or acid. You can discover this yourself by using lemons, copper coins and iron nails. Nice to do at school or with a group of children!
