A. PROBLEM: The copper and zinc generated the highest voltage on that video

On the hypothesis first I thought that the lemon has the highest voltage.
Based on the outcome of the video The greater the concentration of
B. HYPOTHESIS solution in the two half cells reacting with the two metals to produce
current, the greater the flow of current will be produced from the
galvanic cell.

The materials that he use is the Voltmeter a copper , Zinc or Galvanized

C. MATERIALS: steel nails, plain Steel nails, Aluminum nails and also fruits like
lime,lemon,apple,banana,squash,potato,onion, salt water, a coke.

1 Step: prepare all the material needed before you start the experiment.
2 Step: insert the aluminum nails,copper and the steel nails into the fruits
D. PROCEDURE: or the electrolytes materials.
3 Step: start to use the voltmeter and put the positive and negative on
the each nails that are inserted on the material to check its voltage
4 Step: after checking the voltage of it now you will know which those
electrolytes give the highest voltage.

Safety practices for doing this experiment is do not use sharp nails or any
E. SAFETY PRACTICES: dangerous metal that can hurt you use any materials that will avoid
danger also always use gloves and goggles to ensure your safety.
