When Life Gives You Lemons…
Today Thulani took part in an experiment. Daniel and Gavin are very interested in science, particularly as their Dad (Stuart) is an electrical engineer.
So since our lemon tree has produced madly this year (looks like the laundry grey water agrees with it), it seemed like just the right time to test the theory of making a battery out of a lemon. The boys assembled all the necessary materials and Thulani had a front row seat.
With copper, nails, wires and a multi meter to test the theory, the experiment began. Everyone was amazed to see that the lemon did in fact produce electricity – enough to power a calculator!!
More adventures tomorrow – see ya!
