Create your own project in Science!!! I have mad a recycled Flashlight!

WIN_20140313_205635

This flashlight is made out of recycled materials such as; a toilet paper roll, batteries from an old light, and some other materials. This “recycled flashlight” as I like to call it, contains of 2 D batteries, a toilet paper roll, electrical tape, wire, a 2.2 volt light bub, and a Micro switch. What I did was I tried to use conductors so that the energy from the batteries could flow to the light bulb. This flashlight may not be very efficient in light, but it sure works and is very cool to experiment with.

Nature is calling,

waves crashing on the seashore,

flowing back and forth,

The trees are swaying,

grass is growing tall and green,

blooming flowers as they seem…
