Azurdia, Edward; O'Hare, Matthew; Reay, William; Walker, Daniel
School Science Review, v99 n368 p63-72 Jun 2018
After seeing several reports in newspapers making claims about the cause of death after children had swallowed button batteries, a team of students decided to try to establish which (if any) claims were true. The findings were reported in the Schools Exhibition at the ASE Annual Conference 2018 in Liverpool and are shared in detail here. (A bibliography is included.)
