Lemon Battery

To mark British Science Week, and as part of our work on electricity, the Owls tried to see whether they could use lemons as batteries to light a bulb in a circuit. They worked together as a class to see how many lemons it would take to light the bulb and to make sure everything was connected properly. Although they did not manage to light the bulb, there was plenty of amazing discussion going on and the children were able to demonstrate their scientific understanding by figuring out why it wouldn’t work and what they needed to do differently the next time. There are certainly some fantastic future scientists in the Owls class!
