Explain how your battery works. What are some possible materials you could use to make your battery?

A battery is made up of three parts. The Cathode (positive end + ), the Anode (negative end - ) and the electrolyte. The electrolyte allows electrical charges to travel between the cathode and anode. This chemical reactions creates the flow of electricity supplying the electrical voltage potential to power a circuit.

Typical materials of a battery are as follows

- Anode most often is made of zinc

- Manganese dioxide acting as Cathode.

- the electrolyte between and inside contains ions
