Fruit bowls are brimming with way more than just delicious flavor – they also have potential electricity. That’s because each fruit can be a key component in a homemade battery. This 4‑H STEM Lab activity will teach you the key parts of a battery and the chemical reaction that makes it possible! You can even try to break a Guinness World Record (instructions are included below).
