Set-up Instructions:
1. Attach electrodes to plexiglass tank and align as shown in the photo below:
2. Place tank on top of overhead projector and connect to high voltage power source located on the second shelf of the utility cart.
3. Pour caster oil into plexiglass tank so that there is approximately 0.25-0.5 cm of liquid in the tank:
4. (RIGHT BEFORE USE) Sprinkle grass seeds around the tank so that there is an equal distribution in the vicinity of the electrodes.
Warning: Sprinkling the grass seeds too early will cause them to soak up oil and sink. Therefore, when a voltage is applied, they will not align themselves with the electric field.
