Channel: Alliterative
Date: 2017-06-16

It's raining potatoes! We explore the names for potatoes, the history of the battery, the role of potatoes in powering the Industrial Revolution, and the WWII origins of the potato cannon. It's all part of a collaboration with some #WeCreateEdu friends--check out the playlist for experiments with potato batteries, the biology of the potato, the psychology of potato chips, & much more! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdNfe9CByWuY6n_y5bKUKBcXbG-EtEY99
