In this lesson designed for 10th Graders, students will use their knowledge of how electricity works to build an electric circuit using potatoes as the sole power source.
The learning objective is for student teams to be able to design and construct a circuit that optimizes the voltage to a LED light bulb powered by potatoes. Each team should be able to explain the “route” they took in constructing their circuit in order to make the LED light up. This explanation should include why they did and did not make certain choices.
