Spelling With Hangman

Last Year Science Fair

Aim

To find what fruit or vegetable generates the most power.

Hypothesis

I think that the lemon will make the most power because it is the most acidic

Introduction

I always wanted to make a potato batterie but I wondered what would happen with other fruits so I decided to try at this science fair.

Equipment & Method

Various fruit and vegetables

1 small copper rod

1 small zinc rod

a voltmeter

What I did was put the copper rod in one end of the fruit and then put the zinc rod in the other end , attached the voltmeter the the rods and then I got a reading. I tested this 3 times to get an average for each thing

Results

The results were that the potato and the lemon made the most power and the tomato made the least

Conclusion

I conclude that the lemon generated the most power out of the 3 trials

maybe hover shoes or different effect of video games

Complaint

30 18th Avenue

To Barrio Brothers

I would like to file a complaint to your restaurant about the noise inside.
Me and my family were there for dinner a couple months ago and we were very annoyed by the noise inside.

The noise I would describe as annoying, on going and defining.
I believe that the noise is coming from your bar when the bartenders are making cocktails with the blender and shaker. My Brothers sisters and cousins were all affected by this problem.

What I believe you should do it try and move the bar so it is harder to hear the whizzing and shaking noises coming from the bar.

Yours Sincerely
