1. Examine at least three different batteries at home or at a store, each with a different voltage. Download the battery chart and fill it in showing the type of battery (alkaline, NiCd, etc), the voltage, the size, and the use for which each battery is designed. Why do you think they are different in size and voltage? Link: https://s3.amazonaws.com/content.accelerate-ed.com/Secondary/docs/PhysicalScience/battery_chart.pdf
2. Examine two items that use more than one battery, such as a flashlight, a 2-way radio, or a battery-operated toy. Look at the arrangement of the batteries in the item. Are they connected in series? For each item, state the number and type of batteries, the voltage of each battery, and the total voltage produced.
