Homemade battery tester/// Homemade Science with Bruce Yeany

This simple battery tester lets you to see how it works. It can show the relationship between the flow of electricity through a coil and the strength of the magnetic field it produces. It's also a fun way of testing to see if your batteries are good or not.

Homemade science is a collection of classroom tested ideas, suggestions, projects, and experiments that I have used in teaching physical science for the Annville-Cleona school district in central Pennsylvania. I am currently in my 38th year of teaching. My intention is to share these ideas with other teachers or anyone who has an interest in science. I have found that designing and building my own equipment has taught me more than any course that I have ever taken. I hope that you consider making or trying these experiements for yourself.
