Harry H the scientist - the big experiment

Dear Mr Watson & year 6

I decided to try out one of my Christmas presents today, it's called Enviro Battery. The aim of the experiment was to make a fork act like a battery. This is what happened.

What I needed
1. 2 zinc plates
2. An LCD clock
3. Sticky tape
4.Connection wire
5. Two forks
6. One lemon cut into two

What I did
1. Firstly I connected one end of the red wire to one of the forks using the sticky tape to secure the connection.
2. Then, I connected the black wire to the to one of the zinc plates.
3. Using another fork and zinc plate I connected them with some wire to make a connection pair.
4. To activate the clock I inserted all the metals into the lemon.

What happened.
First of all it didn't work because the forks I used had plastic handles and as I connected the wires to the plastic nothing happened. When I tried again I used the metal prongs and then the clock switched on! This showed me that electricity cannot travel through plastic, but it does travel through metal. I had a lot of fun and learnt something new.

Happy New Year.
Harry

As we all know Mrs Watson is a massive character and inspiration in school and and will be missed greatly by us all.  She will have a few months of relaxation before ther arrival of twins in March.
GOOD LUCK to Mrs Watson as she leaves and beging the next chapter of her Adventure.


Finally...
Here's wishing all of Year 6 a very happy holidays - Merry Christmas and HAppy new year to tou all!

See you on 3rd January 2011!
