National Geographic Battery Making Kit – Build a Potato Clock & Coin-Powered Flashlight!

Discover the Fun of Science with a Potato Battery Kit

The National Geographic Battery Making Kit makes learning about electricity easy and fun! Ideal for curious kids, this hands-on STEM science kit comes with everything you need to build two interactive projects: a real potato-powered clock and a working flashlight powered by coins. No complex tools or experience required—just add potatoes!

Easy-to-Build Electricity Science Projects

With this kit, kids will:

• Construct a working potato clock and see it come alive using just two potatoes
• Measure voltage with the built-in voltmeter, turning the clock into a science lab
• Build a DIY penny battery using included copper, magnesium, and cardboard discs
• Power a real flashlight using the coin battery they've made themselves

Educational & Entertaining for Kids

This educational science kit for kids helps develop basic STEM skills. The detailed learning guide explains the science behind circuits, batteries, and voltage, making these concepts accessible and fun for everyone. It's perfect for classroom science activities, home learning, or a rainy-day project with the family.

What’s Included in the National Geographic Battery Making Kit?

• Digital potato clock with a built-in voltmeter
• Circuit components for connecting potatoes as batteries
• Copper discs, magnesium discs, and cardboard discs for building a coin-powered battery
• Battery compartment for assembling the “penny battery”
• LED flashlight ready to use with your homemade battery
• Step-by-step instructions and a full-color learning guide about electricity and circuits

Technical Data

• Potato clock voltage range: Typically between 1.2V – 2.0V depending on the potatoes used
• Flashlight power: Operates on voltage generated from DIY “penny battery” (multiple copper and magnesium pairs in series)
• Recommended age: 8 years and up (adult supervision suggested for younger children)
• No additional batteries or power sources required—just common household potatoes
