BATERIES!!!! *O* Okay so mr.G wants us to write a blog about how we built batteries, and how what we used can make a battery.
SO HERE YOU GO=http://

So how we made a battery was we had strips of Zinc and Copper, a rubber band, and Copper Sulfate solution. We also had blotter paper.
So Catfood and I were a team.
We put the copper on one side, paper in between, and zinc on the other side. We put a rubber band on the strips, and put them in the copper sulfate solution.
Now we didn't get a reaction IN the solution, but kana got one on a paper towel. We had a glow spark.

Now how can copper, zinc, and copper sulfate solution create a battery?
Well it creates a chemical reaction that makes electrodes swim around and be all......electric-y. It's like.....a roller coaster kinda. Except it goes on and on and on and on. Until the electrodes get tired and fall asleep.(NOTE:Okay that doesn't really happen, but in my mind it does. :P)
PS Zinc loses negatives and copper gains them, and zinc gains positives, and copper loses them.....it makes more sense spoken then written.

That's all for now chickens, PS my new Penname is Toaster.
