Read the full experiment at http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/experiment/fruit-power-battery Voltaic batteries of all shapes and sizes are objects that convert chemical energy into electrical energy. You probably use batteries to power your cell phone, iPod, or any number of wireless gadgets. But did you know that you can actually use chemical energy stored within a lemon to power a small LED light? It’s true, and we’ll show you exactly how in the Fruit-Power Battery experiment.
Genie in a Bottle is not meant to do at home. Your chemistry teacher is a good resource to perform this experiment in the classroom.

Clock reactions like this never fail to capture the students attention, and the Iodine Clock Reaction is one of the most startling chemical demonstrations you’ll ever see. How did that happen? is almost always the reaction, and when students ask How?, theyre ready to learn.

Think Ink! illustrates the amazing chemistry behind the classic clock reaction where molecules meet up and change over time to create this startling reaction. Unlike the classic iodine clock reaction from your high school chemistry class, our new Think Ink! formula uses a kitchen chemistry approach to achieve even better results. And yes… this is the same reaction that Steve Spangler shares in his live performances and recently featured on the Ellen DeGeneres Show.
