What Is the Problem With Batteries

Help me give my students Wireless Voltage Sensors explore battery science and engage in the engineering design process by creating a battery of their own.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Harris's classroom raised $476

My Project

Each year in chemistry we learn about chemical reactions and what they look like. Students are always engaged but the connection between the reactions we study and real world applications has been lacking.

This year in chemistry I am striving to connect what we are learning to real world problems, the real world problem we will be studying is creating more efficient batteries.

As part of this unit students will use different materials to create a battery and then using the wireless voltage sensors. They will collect data and graph the efficiency of the battery they created, redesign it and test it again to try and create the best battery.
