Product Description
A potato battery is an electrochemical battery, or an electrochemical cell in which a chemical reaction occurs in a liquid between two different metals. When a wire is placed to connect the metals, it carries an electrical current. An electrochemical cell converts chemical energy to electric energy. This plastic clock has two compartments designed to hold potatoes or fruit. Two coils (one red and one blue) are inserted into a different potato while the green coiled wire is connected to both potatoes. This will then make the clock start working. This is an excellent demonstration clock to use in the science classroom!

This was perfect for my son's science fair! It was very easy to work with and it came with easy instructions and other information that was very helpful. The potato clock along with some added poster boards and charts turned out to be a success as a science project. This product was fun and it did the job in showing another way that electricity can work as a source of power and/or energy.
