Year 9 Science: Electricity from Pizza Dough!

“Who said that pizza is only for eating?!”

I bet that the first thing that pops onto your mind, when someone says the word “pizza”, is how delicious and yummy it is. Well, if you ask our Year 9 students, they might tell you that pizza dough can also be used to build a simple electrical circuit. Last week, our Year 9 scientists prepared pizza dough following a recipe. At first, it all looked like normal pizza dough, but, if you add enough salt and lemon juice, you can transform your pizza dough in a good conductor of electricity, and it can light up a cute LED light! You would not believe it! Watch it yourself! It is incredible what Science, and some pizza dough, can do!
