Do certain fruits conduct electricity better than others?

Most probably. Electricity is produced when two conductors, called electrodes, are spaced apart between an electrolyte. The electrolyte is a liquid whose effectiveness (in separating positive ions from negative ions at the electrodes) is determined by the acidity of the liquid. Since different fruits have different acidic content, we can hypothesize that different fruits can act as different conductors or batteries. This can be a good science fair project!
