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.Product FAQ

Fruit Clock
Danae Englewood - August 4, 2009
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. |
