Method: 1.The two cups are filled with vinegar and tape is put over the cups,it is pierced and marked positive and negative. 2.The nails are put into the negative end of the tape and a wire is put into the positive end and the other end of the wire is tied around the nail on the other cup. 3.Another wire is tied around the last nail and the last wire is put into the last positive hole and both wires are put into each end of the battery place in the calculator.
Observation: When the wires are hooked up to the calculator it turns on.
