~ A potato 
~ A multi-meter
~ A penny
~ Alligator clips (red=positive, black=negative)
~ A galvanized nail]]> 2018-04-27 16:47:00 UTC https://padlet.com/griffine10/wps2wtnyappt/wish/256088244 What is the procedure? griffine10 https://padlet.com/griffine10/wps2wtnyappt/wish/256093237 1. Cut a hole on one side of the potato big enough to fit the penny. 
2. Put the penny in the potato about halfway down the penny.
3. Put the galvanized nail near the blossom end of the penny a little over halfway down.
4. Make sure the nail and the penny do not touch.
5. Clip the red alligator clip onto the penny and the black clip onto the nail. 
6. Set the multi-meter to volts and connect the clips on the multi-meter. ]]> 2018-04-27 16:58:07 UTC https://padlet.com/griffine10/wps2wtnyappt/wish/256093237 How much energy can a potato actually produce? griffine10 https://padlet.com/griffine10/wps2wtnyappt/wish/256110877 A potato can produce 0.41 volts when tested. ]]> 2018-04-27 17:41:36 UTC https://padlet.com/griffine10/wps2wtnyappt/wish/256110877 My sources: griffine10 https://padlet.com/griffine10/wps2wtnyappt/wish/262243375 https://www.teachengineering.org/activities/view/cub_energy2_lesson04_activity2 ]]> 2018-05-21 01:59:41 UTC https://padlet.com/griffine10/wps2wtnyappt/wish/262243375 griffine10 https://padlet.com/griffine10/wps2wtnyappt/wish/262243619

This is because the potato juice creates a chemical reaction.]]> 2018-05-23 16:21:55 UTC https://padlet.com/griffine10/wps2wtnyappt/wish/263086589
