  2. 3. Wrap one end of each wire to the leads coming off theLED. 4. Wrap the other end of one of the wires around thenail. • 1lemon • a galvanized zincnail • 2 pieces of copperwire • anLED • a coppercoin Youneed: Todo: 1. Place the sharp end of the nail into thelemon. 5. Touch the end of the other wire to thecoin. 2. Make a 1 cm cut in the lemon and insert the copper coin halfway into the lemon. If a copper coin is not available, just insert one end of the copperwire. Whathappens: The LED lights up. But why? The lemon does not really store electricity. Instead, a chemical reaction between the zinc nail and the lemon’s juice takes place. This reaction releases two electrons from the zinc atoms. The electrons flow, making electricity that lights theLED. @engagelearningmag See a lemon battery set a worldrecord. Diagram: START-UP MEDIA PVTLTD
