Creative Battery Design
by Ana Ramirez
In this lesson plan, students will be able to investigate battery cells as they construct their own simple batteries:
They will know that batteries are a common store of energy for many devices that we use every day, understand that energy can be transferred from one form to another. For example, when someone is moving down a slide gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. Also, they will know that chemical reactions occur between acids and other materials such as metals.
