Fruit Clock
Item #: WCOL-300 In Stock

If a lemon or potato clock leave you craving more, how about trying a banana or an orange? This clock and calendar combination uses the power of any household fruit or vegetable in place of a standard battery. Think about the dinner table conversation you can have when you hook up your leftover dinner to these jumper wires. Now the kids don’t have to hide their fruits and veggies under the table or feed them to the dog! Recommended for children ages 8 and up.

What's included?

  • 1 Frame

  • 1 Rubber Stop Jumper Wire
  • Instruction manual with the science behind the fruit clock

How does it work?

The fruit clock is a fun and easy way to teach students the scientific principles behind single cell batteries and how they store energy. The fruits and vegetables act in the same manner as a regular battery with a much more intriguing approach! You can also use this clock to teach important lessons about renewable resources and the importance they will play in our future.

Fruit Clock

The Fruit Powered Clock is not a battery clock. This clock runs off of the acid that you can find in your fruits and vegetables. You can tell the time and the date once you assemble the clock and set the time and date with the four small buttons on the back of the LED Clock / Calendar (combo). One thing that I found out is you will need to move the jumper wires around when the hole in the fruit or vegetable starts to dry out. Also every 1 to 2 weeks you will need to change out the fruit or vegetable.
