This may be a science project you remember from elementary school involving the all-mighty potato. Instead of cooking up those delicious bad boys for dinner, you can use them to learn about the awesomeness of what is called a chemical reaction. Yes, you can actually build a clock that runs purely on potatoes. Say What?! No Batteries? Yes, you too can be a spud-scientist and discover how you can power the included digital clock just by using these starchy, tuberous crops.
The 4M Potato Clock Kit includes a digital clock with wires, pots, connecting wire, transparent tapes, copper and zinc strips and detailed instructions. The only thing you will need to bring to the table is two potatoes and the ability to read and follow instructions. Not only that, as a bonus, you can also experiment what other non-starchy substances can also power your clock. Caution: May include High Voltage Inspiration and Fun! Recommended 7 years & up.
