Power a digital clock by making a battery out of lemons.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

2 ripe lemons

Low-voltage digital clock (Use a clock that takes one AA battery or a 1.5-volt button cell battery. One AA battery has about 1.5 volts of energy. Two lemons should produce about 1.5 volts.)

2 copper pennies (If your penny has a date before 1982, it is made of 95 percent copper. If the date is 1982 or later, it is made of 97.5 percent zinc with a thin copper coating. The old pennies work better.)

3 8″ lengths of copper wire

2 galvanized nails (Galvanized nails are coated with zinc.)

Knife

Scissors

Clip leads (alligator clips), optional

WHAT YOU'LL DO

1. Roll the lemons on a hard surface, being careful not to break the skin. (This will loosen the pulp, make the lemons juicy and help the electrons move through the lemons.)

2. Wrap one end of a wire around a penny and the other around the end of a nail. (These will be used to connect the lemons together. Connecting lemons with metal wires adds voltage from each lemon. The more lemons you connect together, the higher the voltage.)

3. Connect a second wire to a penny and leave the other end bare.

4. Wrap the third wire around a nail and leave the other end bare.

5. Cut a slit in each lemon just large enough to insert the pennies. Insert the pennies and nails as shown in the image at the top of this page. (Make sure the copper wire has good contact with both the pennies and nails, and make sure the pennies and the nails make good contact with the lemon pulp and juice.)

6. Remove the battery from the clock and touch the wires to the positive and negative terminals in the clock. If your clock doesn't work, try switching the wires.

7. You can also use clip leads (alligator clips) to connect your wires to the pennies, nails and clock, as shown below.

This Thursday at midday, we're challenging the nation to take part in a world-record step-up challenge! Let's get everyone climbing their favourite hills and mountains from their own homes and gardens.​

We are urging people to start stepping, whether climbing stairs or stepping on the spot, from midday on Thursday 9 April. You could step for 15 minutes, the equivalent of climbing a small hill, or keep going for several hours and attempt to conquer one of the major summits.

It's easy to get involved...

Enter number of steps you have climbed, and we'll tell you what challenges you have achieved!

Need some Step Up inspiration?

Introduction: How to Make Bagpipes Out of a Garbage Bag and Recorders

This instructable is how to make a simple bagpipe like instrument out of basic household materials. Granted, it does not sound all too much like a bagpipe, but it works similarly and is fun to mess around with.

Step 1: Basic Construction of Bagpipes

At the most basic level, bagpipes have 4 parts:

A bag to hold the air
A blowpipe to blow air into the bag
A chanter to play a melody
And a drone which plays a constant note

2 People Made This Project!

Recommendations

Tiny Speed Challenge

Spring Cleaning Challenge

Trash to Treasure Contest

Step 2: Materials

1 Garbage Bag or large plastic bag
2 Recorders (or 2 PVC Recorders: https://www.instructables.com/id/PVC-Recorder/)
2 Pens (You can also use a decent sized straw or a piece of hose)
Scissors
Tape

Step 3: Make the Blowpipe

To make the blowpipe out of pens, just take the pens apart and tape them together.

Step 4: Trim the Bag

We wont be needing an entire garbage bag, so trim it down some, maybe 3/4 the size of a regular garbage bag.

Step 5: Attach Blowpipe to Bag

Tape the blowpipe to one side of the open bag. I like to put the blowpipe in a good inch or two into the bag to make sure no air escapes.

Go ahead and tape up 1/4 of the open part of the bag too.

Step 6: Attach the Drone

Take one recorder, which will act as the drone, and tape it near 1/4 of the bag length down from the blowpipe. Make sure you do not cover up the whistle part of the recorder and that the mouthpiece is in the bag.

Go ahead and close up the rest of the open part of the bag, making it airtight.

Step 7: Attach the Chanter

Cut a hole in the corner of the bag that is on the same side as the blowpipe.

Attach the other recorder to the hole and this will act as the chanter.

Step 8: Modify the Drone

Tape up some holes on the drone to make it sound like how you want it to. This is the part that plays a constant note, so try to make it a note that doesn't make you want to find earplugs. Covering up all the holes works the best I think.

Step 9: Have Fun

Go ahead and play with your new bagpipes. Look for videos on the internet to learn how to play, the main difference is you play the chanter like a recorder. Check for any leaks and fix them with tape.

The bagpipe in the video looks a bit different because I made it larger than the one I did in the instructable, I find it works better if it's a little on the big side. Also you will notice I have no idea how to play a recorder, but someone with some musical talent should be able to get some nice melodies out of this.

The trees are still green but they will soon turn into beautiful colors. With autumn just around the corner, I looked for some of the best four seasons arts and crafts for kids. All of them are four seasons trees as the trees reflect the most the seasonal changes.

In my opinion spring and fall are the perfect seasons for making four seasons arts and crafts. While we only have evergreen trees in our yard, many of our neighbors have some gorgeous trees that we like to observe and admire throughout the year.

These four seasons arts and crafts are a great opportunity for kids to learn about spring, summer, fall and winter. They can talk about what makes every season unique, write down lists of specific seasonal activities or things they love about each season.

I have always lived in 4 season states or countries but not everybody gets to experience all the seasons. Some kids may not know what snow looks and feels like, for instance. With any of the arts and crafts listed below they can explore and learn about the seasons they aren't familiar with.

While kindergartners and older kids will have no problem pulling off the crafts, preschoolers will need some grown-up help.

You will discover so many variations of the four seasons tree craft and all so beautiful and unique. Some use rocks or cotton balls, other paper plates or printables. Which one to choose? This is a tough question. It depends on the age of the little crafters and the materials you feel comfortable using or have at hand.

Each of the trees can be paired with more seasonal crafts from our collection of 100+ easy crafts for kids.

Here are a few supplies you will need to create some of these trees:
