Info:

• In 1799, Italian physicist Alessandro Volta noticed that when he put zinc and tin plates in salt water, electric current passed through the cables connected to these two metals. Thereupon, he placed papers or fabrics soaked in salt water between the zinc and silver plates. When he touched the two ends, he felt a strong current. Thus, Volta managed to produce the world’s first battery. This battery is called the “Voltaic battery”. Voltaic batteries are batteries connected in series.

How?

• Magnesium and carbon plates cause a chemical reaction in salt water (electrolyte). The magnesium plate loses electrons, the carbon plate gains electrons, and thus a current is created.

Targeted Gains:

• Designs and sets up a simple electrical circuit to test whether substances conduct electrical energy.
• Classifies substances as conductors and insulators in terms of conducting electrical energy.
• Realizes that metals are conductors and plastics are insulators.
• Realizes that some liquids are conductors and some are insulators.
• Realizes that the electrical conductivity and insulator properties of substances are used for various purposes.
• Realizes that electric current is a type of energy transfer.
• Expresses that electrical energy sources provide electric current to the circuit.
• Realizes that metals tend to give electrons and nonmetals tend to take electrons.
• Observes that a chemical reaction turns into electrical energy.
• Investigates various types of energy and gives examples of transformations between them.
• Based on energy transformations, concludes that energy is conserved.
• Explains conservation of energy, transfer, and infers that energy can be transformed from one type to another.
