Play a Potato Piano: Learn About Circuits with the East Lansing Public Library's Wonder Lab!

Join East Lansing Public Library's own Dr. B for an engaging and interactive exploration of electricity in action. Help complete electrical circuits to power a variety of electrical components. You can even play a tune on a "potato piano" by completing electrical circuits that include real potatoes and your own body! If you enjoy these activities, many of the resources at our station, along with a variety of other STEM Kits, can be checked out from the East Lansing Public Library so that you can continue nurturing your scientific curiosity at home.
