Science Experiments with Batteries
Endurance ... in the Long Run - Brand batteries
Science Fair Projects with Batteries
CATEGORY:
Consumer Science
STUDENT: Nick Doyle
GRADE LEVEL: 7th
CITY/STATE: Arlington Heights, IL, USA
AWARDS:Gold Medal at Illinois Regional
I. Purpose
Do name brand batteries last
longer than off-brand batteries? In addition,which batteries are the
most cost -effective?
II. Procedure
- Put two D-cell batteries with the same brand name inside a
flashlight.
- Turn the flashlight on and leave it
on until the battery stops functioning. Record the running time of the
flashlight in
a notebook.
- continue the experiment for three trials and find the
average.
- Repeat this experiment with the two additional different
battery types.
III. Conclusion
All batteries have an operating
time that is approximately the same. Therefore, the most cost effective
battery is the least expensive
battery.
Each student was given a questionnaire and this is what Nick had to say....
What did
you enjoy most about doing your project?
Going to
regionals and state with friends was a blast.What would
you do differently next time? I would
start the research paper earlier.
Endurance: in the Long Run
was presented at the
Illinois Junior Academy of Science.
The IJAS only requires three sections in their science fair project abstracts, but the
The ISEF (grand daddy of all science fairs) requires five
sections.
So, be sure to check to see what the guidelines are for your particular science fair.
More display boards and abstracts will be added like the science experiments for batteries.

It is always fun to compare battery brands for science fair projects because it makes you so aware of how we a influenced by commercials that really don't tell us everything!
