did an experiment where we each were given a D battery, paper clip, a small light bulb, and something like twenty minutes to make the bulb light up. In this small amount of time we had to write down the steps we used to get the bulb lit. I, having little knowledge of batteries, other than knowing that they made my walkman play, figured that it had something to do with the positive and negative sides of the battery.
