In this fun hands-on activity, students make a fruit battery using lemons. They use the battery and other simple materials to build a circuit that powers an LED light. Students then conduct research to discover how their fruit battery and circuit work.

Background Information: The source of energy in the lemon battery is not the lemon itself, but the copper and zinc that make up the electrodes. The zinc is oxidized, meaning they release electrons and become a positively charged zinc ion. Inside the lemon, hydrogen ions are reduced, meaning they accept the electrons and become hydrogen gas. The juices inside the lemon act as an electrolyte to carry electrons from the zinc electrode to the copper electrode, which then transmits the electrons through the wires of the circuit.

Minimize Your Footprint

Minimize Your Footprint

National Wildlife Federation

3 - 8

50 Minutes

A carbon footprint is the amount of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and other carbon compounds emitted due to the consumption of fossil fuels by a particular person, group, etc. Since the industrial revolution, more CO₂ is being emitted into the mix of heat-trapping gases (greenhouse gases) than can be absorbed by what is known as carbon sinks — places where carbon can be absorbed instead of trapped in the atmosphere. Carbon sinks include trees, the ocean, and soil. Every little action makes a change, and therefore, It is vital to reduce our carbon footprint to reduce the amount of CO₂ in the atmosphere. Focus on the positive. Do not use scare tactics (doom and gloom) to encourage behavior change. What children should know:

● Carbon dioxide is put into the atmosphere, mainly when we burn fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas), primarily the result of our transportation needs and energy use.

● Industry, agriculture, and tree burning also contribute to CO₂ in the atmosphere.

● Carbon that is not absorbed in sinks (oceans, trees, and soils) stays trapped in the atmosphere making the global temperature warmer.

● Each action we take has a positive or negative impact on the environment, think cause and effect.

● You can change your habits and behavior to reduce the amount of CO₂ you contribute to the atmosphere.

● Carbon dioxide is put into the atmosphere, mainly when we burn fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas), primarily the result of our transportation needs and energy use.

● Industry, agriculture, and tree burning also contribute to CO₂ in the atmosphere.

● Carbon that is not absorbed in sinks (oceans, trees, and soils) stays trapped in the atmosphere making the global temperature warmer.

● Each action we take has a positive or negative impact on the environment, think cause and effect.

● You can change your habits and behavior to reduce the amount of CO₂ you contribute to the atmosphere.
