Cameras, cell phones, toys, and laptops are just a few of the many devices that are powered by batteries. Still, how do batteries themselves work? What makes these sources of electricity so useful?
Write a report about batteries. Before you begin, you will need to research batteries and how they work. Here are some questions to guide your research:
How do batteries produce electricity?
What are some different types of batteries?
How do lead-acid batteries work?
What is the electrolyte in lead-acid batteries?
What makes batteries useful?
Are you ready? Begin by visiting the Web sites in Step 2. Look for answers to the questions above, and write down what you learn in the note-taking boxes.
With teacher supervision, you may use search engines to research other Web sites. You also can research batteries at the library. When you are ready, follow Steps 3 and 4 to write your report.
