AIChE K-12 Module, Grades 9-12 (5) - Potato Power!

Students will learn about electrochemistry, renewable energy, and circuits through an interactive lab in which they can build a potato circuit. Students will be able to get hands on circuits experience exposing them to basic electrochemistry and physics, and will learn how easy it is power simple electronics. Students will also learn about the theory of how batteries and specifically a potato battery work.
