 * THE STUDY OF VARIOUS TYPES OF FOODS **

The purpose of this study was to find what foods conduct voltage. Electricity is energy in a form caused by the existence of charged particles. A variety of potatoes were tested to see what type of potato conducted the most voltage. The results of this experiment showed that sweet potatoes conducted the most voltage by 0.1 V. This data happened because all potatoes have around the same amount of electrolytes inside of them which creates electricity.
 * ABSTRACT **

It was hard to compare the potato and pickle data because the experiment consisted of 2 potatoes and only 1 pickle. An improvement to this experiment could be to use the same amount of each food. In the future, it would be interesting to determine how long a fan can blow after the pickle has been sitting in different types of drinks for a certain amount of time.
