A favorite of the science educational toys and science lab equipment are the digital clocks which are ran on potato power. This is a true experiment in science any child will be astonished that actually works. Wires which are pushed deep into the potatoes of copper and then zinc cause reactions of reduction and oxidation to submit a very low surge of power which then can run a small digital clock. Try different fruit or garden vegetables for even more entertainment and see if they hold the dame or different effects as well.
