1 Electric Fruits and Vegetables What fruit or vegetable makes the most electricity ?

2 Purpose To find out what fruit generates the most electricity naturally

3 Hypothesis When I connect the fruits and vegetables to the voltage meter I believe that the grapefruit will make more electricity because it is larger than the other fruits and vegetable

4 Materials For this experiment, you will need: A lemon A lime A grapefruit An orange A potato A voltage meter

5 Procedure 1.First turn the voltage meter on to X1K 2.Then, insert the wires into each fruit/vegetable 3.Afterwards, record your results 4.Repeat procedure and clean the wires after each test.

6 Results Fruit /Veggie PotatoLemonLimeGrapefruitOrange Trial 1 voltage 0.2 volts 0.4 volts 0.25 volts 0.1 volts0.2 volts Trial 2 voltage 0.22 volts 0.41 volts 0.26 volts 0.11 volts0.22 volts Trial 3 voltage 0.19 volts 0.45 volts 0.23 volts 0.09 volts0.21 volts

7 Comparison I'm comparing the electricity each fruit and vegetable produces to each other to find out which one produces the most

8 Variables Controlled Make sure that voltage meter was an old needle pointer one Make sure the dial is on X1K Same kind of fruits and vegetables (ex: naval orange, sweet potato ect.) Keep the wires clean of juice Have the fruits fresh

9 Independent Variable The fruit/vegetable Dependent Variable The voltage meter

10 Sample size I think I tested enough fruits/vegetables because I think using 3 fruits would be enough for a similar experiment to be valid and I used 5

11 Trials In my opinion, I did not do enough trials, I think that 10 trials would be a better number opposed to my 3 trials

12 Diagram On X1K Wires in fruit/vegetable Wires in volt meter

13 Conclusion My hypothesis was disapproved according to the results, a lemon produces about 0.43 volts of electricity while a grapefruit, despite its size, only generates 0.1 volts of electricity. The most challenging part was reading the voltage meter, luckily, my dad helped me. I learned that just because there is more of something, doesn’t mean it has more value I felt most successful when my hypothesis was wrong, because almost no one is perfect on the first try If I had to do this experiment again, I would use different fruits or vegetables
