Fruit Battery Science Experiment Kit

Turn a simple electrochemistry lesson into a hands-on experiment with copper and zinc electrodes, wires, LEDs and a small clock.

✅ See a circuit produce a result - The included clock and LEDs provide visible outputs for a correctly assembled experiment.

✅ Explore what the electrodes do - Copper and zinc pieces let learners build cells with a suitable fruit or liquid electrolyte.

✅ Try different cell arrangements - Connection wires let you link components and compare the behaviour of the experimental circuit.

Explore a battery one connection at a time

The experiment brings electrodes, electrolyte and a load into the same simple circuit. Learners can assemble the parts, observe the output and explore how the arrangement affects the result rather than only reading about batteries.

Supply suitable fruit or liquid separately and follow the kit's circuit instructions. The clock and LEDs need the appropriate connections and number of cells; this is an educational experiment, not a practical power supply.

Technical details

• Kit: four copper pieces, four zinc pieces and six wires
• Outputs: two LEDs and one clock
