written by David Katz
This is a set of five lab guides for constructing various types of batteries: 1) voltaic pile, 2) electrochemical cell, 3) lemon cell, 4) storage cell, and 5) a zinc-carbon dry cell battery. It was developed by David Katz, chemistry instructor and author of Chemistry in the Toy Store. For grades 4-8, the voltaic pile experiment and the lemon cell would be most appropriate, as there are no safety hazards.

Safety Precautions The electrochemical cell and the storage call use sulfuric acid, which is corrosive. The zinc-carbon dry cell battery uses zinc chloride, which is a skin and eye irritant.

This item is part of a much larger collection of resources that include lesson plans for K-12, labs and hands-on activities, authentic assessments, projects spanning several days, and detailed guides for demonstrations.
