In our first group meeting on Monday, March 30 we discussed and searched for potential topics and experiments that we wish to do for our final team project. We looked at different links that were on our syllabus and looked at different ideas, until we encountered the “Lemon Juice” project. We al agreed that it was a nice idea to understand how a lemon can produce energy, we decided to give a twist to the project approach. We wanted to also explore the idea of the energy that a potato and an apple would also produce and if its possible to turn an LED light with its energy. We chose to do this project because it looks like a fun and interesting experiment.  The projects purpose is to determine whether there is enough energy stored in a fruit or a vegetable (lemon, apple and potato) to power an LED light.

After we all agreed in doing this experiment, we divided each role and responsibility between the group members. We started doing more research about the subject and watched some experiments already done on YouTube.  We talked about who has to bring what and how are we going to approach the next few weeks.

In the next group meeting we started working on the presentation, and the paper worksheet. For next week we expect to start doing the actual experiment to prove if these fruits and vegetables can produce enough energy to turn on an LED light.
