4M Green Science Potato Clock Science Kit Model 4568

This project was fun and amazing for our whole family. Neither my children or myself were convinced that a potato could produce electrical power, but we were very excited to try. We used this electric kit to go along with our home school studies on how electricity works. I was very pleased to see that the instructions stated that we could use this kit with other food items besides potatoes. This was great for our first try with it, because I was out of potatoes. Luckily, the instructions said we could use citrus fruits, so we tried this experiment on a lemon for our first attempt at capturing electricity. The kit itself was minimal with the number of objects we needed to complete this experiment. Everything was explained well. The most difficult part my kids had, was looping the wires into the tiny holes of the electrodes. In the “How It Works” section of the direction's pamphlet, there is a small, but concise paragraph explaining the background science of this experiment. I do wish that this was written on a separate she of paper that would catch the key of my children. Unfortunately, they did not catch this bit of information on their own, I found it and read it out loud to them. We were able to have a lot of fun with this kit as a family.

This Green Science potato clock is for children ages over 8 and won the red design award in 2015. You can be a scientist as you discover how to power this digital clock using potatoes. What! No batteries? Experiment to find out what other substances will power the clock, you'll be amazed! This experiment contains High Voltage inspiration and fun! This experiment can help you create many unusual berries with apples, tomato, soft drink, and even more! The kit contains a digital clock with wires, pots, connecting wires, transparent tapes, copper and zinc strips, and detailed instructions. It is a great way to get your kids to have fun and learn.

I was very excited about getting the Science Potato Clock Kit. I thought, what a great way to spend quality time with my grandson. It did not fail my expectations. We had a great time, reading the easy to understand instructions and putting it together. The excitement that we felt when the clock worked, was phenomenal! We used apples instead of potatoes and it still worked perfectly. I absolutely LOVED the fact that, not only was it quality time with my grandson, we both learned how natural resources can be used to create energy! The proud look on my grandsons face when we connected the clock, and it worked, was truly amazing! He couldn't wait to tell everyone what we did. The only negative thing that I can say about the Green Science Potato Clock is that I wish the experience and excitement could have lasted longer. Thank you for creating a product that brought such happiness to us. I will definitely recommend it to friends and family.

This was such a fun experiment to do with my class. In our state, the potato clock would be a 5th grade standard. But, I knew my grade level would enjoy the concept. Plus, we could use it as a Long Term Investigation. It was definitely a hit! The kit comes with everything you need to make it work. All you need to provide is the potatoes. It's easy to set up and quick. I had different kiddos come up and help with each step. Once the clock starting blinking, the room echoed with cheers. They were ecstatic! Now, we have it set up right when you walk in our classroom. Each day, they can check the clock to see how long it will last, and if the potatoes will continue to work as they get older. So fun and educational!

The hours spent on science projects as a kid have all been done here...and it actually works. The kit is well designed an extremely easy to set up. If you have a science project due - THIS IS GREAT! It's also a great visual aid for just explaining power, conductivity, etc.

When I told my daughter what I picked, my concern was this was to difficult for my 5 year old granddaughter. My daughter was super excited. She explained this teaches you how power is naturally use through a potato. She said my granddaughter will love this. Ok well it work. The stripes have something in them and it works. Amazing. Children will love it.

Gave this to my son as a gift and he loves it. It was right up is ally. Setting up and getting it to work was simple. I learned this in grade school but having the ability to just go buy the kit and also allow my kids to learn it was a great experience.

I really like the 4M Green Science Potato Clock Kit. This will be fun to play with my grandson at Christmas as he likes science. You can make a digital clock run using 2 potatoes. The 4M Green Science Potato Clock Kit comes with the digital clock with wires, pots, transparent tape, copper and zinc strips and detailed instructions. You might be amazed at what other items will power the 4M Green Science Potato Clock Kit. Try red or green tomatoes or lemons, maybe even soda will work. Only you the scientist can discover as you experiment with your 4M Green Science Potato Clock Kit. I recommend the 4M Green Science Potato Clock Kit for all scientists. This also could make a great gift!

Our 7-year old was so amazed and proud that he could make a digital clock work without using batteries. He brags about how genius he is that he used only potatoes to make it work. This product is such a genius idea and is able to give kids ideas that they could use alternative fruits and vegetables other than batteries to power a clock. I think this will help them explore more of the endless possibilities of things. The kit came with everything they need to discover the high voltage surprise and lots of fun.

Perfect if you need a science project quick or if you have a curious child. Love this, my kid is just a curious soul and wanted to know if a potato can power a clock. Even found out he can try with different fruits and veggies as well so he had a blast doing it.
