Experiment Plan
Experiment cannot be started until Wednesday, December 12th and is due January 14th.
The results from your experiment should be listed on the chart below.
Remember your findings will need to be in METRIC UNITS
Independent Variables:
● Lemon juice
● Redbull
● Gatorade
● Coconut water
● Coke

Dependent Variables:
● How much power is produced

Constants:
● Amount of each liquid
● Container
● Volt meter
● Location
● The unit of the container

Materials:
● Video recording device of your choosing
● Pen/pencil
● Paper
● 50 mL Lemon juice
● 50 mL Redbull
● 50 mL Gatorade
● 50 mL Coconut water
● 350ml coke can
● 50mL coke
● Volt meter
● can opener
● crocodile clip
● 100g cooking salt
● Small LED light
● Wire wool
● Screw driver
● Penny
● Alligator clips
Procedures:
1. Open the can, pour the coke in the glass and put to the side.
2. Cut off the top of the can using the can opener, and clean the can thoroughly on the inside.
3. Every can has a plastic coating on the inside, which you will have to remove before making the battery set up. For
the purpose, take the wire wool and with the help of the metal stick/ screwdriver/spade scrub the insides of the
can.
4. Once the plastic coating is removed, make sure you have no wire pieces remaining inside the can.
5. Pour the coke back into the can. Attach one of the alligator clips to the copper coin and dip it into the can.
6. Take another alligator clip and attach it to the opening of the can.
7. In order to generate a sufficient amount of power to be able to light up a small LED light, for example, you will need a few
additional bits. Take the cooking salt and add a pinch to the coke (be careful not to let the coke content overflow). This will
bring the voltage from one can up. (other liquid is the same)

Hypothesis:
If I make batteries with redbull, gatorade, lemon juice, coconut water, and coke, then the lemon juice will
create the most voltz.
