Insert a 1cent coin into a cut on one side of the lemon. Then push a galvanized nail into the other side of the lemon. The nail and penny must not touch.

Usually a single lemon battery will produce voltage of about 0.906volts so when you connect 4 of them into series circuit it produce roughly 3.5volts. This is more than enough to make a LED glow. If you fail in your first attempt try to experiment with different zinc and copper (The 1 cent coin may not be purely copper so try experiment with different coin).
