Electrolyte challenge: orange juice vs. sports drinks

[deleted-414490]

To follow up on my previous Q's this is my 4th time conducting experiment, and I found no change. I have bought the kit off your website to complete. This is what I precede to do. I place my straw w/ the copper wire wrapped around the straw in distilled water in the 200( upside-down "h" ) Set your multimeter to measure direct current in the 200 μA range. This is the green "200μ" on the upper-right part of your multimeter dial, When I do this I get no reading.

The readings I get are higher for the tap water and distilled water then they are for the gatorade and orange juice. This doesn't make sense. The gatorade and orange should have more direct current.

Any advice?

Hi Sarah,
Please try measuring using the mA range. The "200μ" is only used with the distilled water.
