As part of Year 6's electricity topic in Science, they have been learning about the work of Allesandro Volta and his development of the world’s first battery – the voltaic pile.

In pairs, the boys replicated the work of Volta producing a 10-cell battery that was able to light an LED. But this was not enough for 6C, who then decided to see how big a battery they could make by adding their voltaic piles together!
