Science Experiments

Grandma sent Nick a super fun Energy Science Kit a couple of weeks ago. She sent some other things too, but this was really what caught his attention. He was so excited, we had to do this one right away. The idea is to light the LED using a variety of liquids and some metal plates. We tried a few different liquids. Water didn't light it up at all, water with vinegar lit it up pretty good, as did salt water. Surprisingly lemon water didn't light it up very well at all, just slightly better than plain water. In retrospect I should have tied this to our energy science lessons that we had before, but I didn't even think about it at the time... maybe next time :)

Here's Nick checking out the light to try to gauge how bright it is.
