**ABSTRACT **
====The purpose of this experiment was to determine which food powered a LED light the best. A food powers a LED light because its citric acid creates electricity and when good conductors are placed in a food, the conductors carry the electricity to the LED light. 4 of 4 different types of food were tested on their ability to power an LED light. A potato powered the LED light the best (4.6 lux) and lemons powered the LED light the worst (1.8 lux). This is caused because of the amount of potassium, ascorbic acid and grams of protein. ====

** EXPERIMENTAL IMPROVEMENT AND FUTURE EXPERIMENTS **
====An improvement to this experiment would be to use a darker room. There was light from another project that might have been affecting the light probe. Another improvement would be to try to use about the same size foods. It was hard to tell if a food was counted as one or two foods depending on the size. A future experiment would be to try and power a clock and see how many ticks there was in a minute. Another future experiment would be to discover which cooked food produced the most electricity. ====
