Here is a list of what you will need. You'll find it at hardware and home supply stores.
Two copper electrodes. A 10-cm length of thick (0.64 cm) copper ground wire
works well.
Two zinc electrodes. Use large galvanized nails.
Three alligator-clip wires.
Two potatoes. (or one large potato cut in half, cover cuts with Saran wrap to prevent drying out)

A good way to demonstrate that your battery works is to make a potato clock. Use a small 1.5V digital clock or watch. Open the battery compartment of the clock and remove
the button battery. In the compartment, notice that there are two connections
for the battery marked plus (+) and minus (-). You'll connect the potato
battery to these two places. Let's call the potatoes A and B. Connect A and B
to the clock like this:
1. Insert a copper electrode and a zinc electrode into each potato, fairly far apart.
2. Use an alligator-clip wire to connect the copper electrode of potato A to the plus (+) connection in the clock.
3. Use an alligator-clip wire to connect the zinc electrode of potato B to the negative (-) connection in the clock.
4. Use an alligator-clip wire to connect the zinc electrode of potato A to the copper electrode of potato B.
That's it. If all went well, the clock is running and will run for a long time. (2 or three months).
