newParagraph element not appeded correctly

my 3rd task is failing. I've tried with div.appendChild(document.querySelector('p')); but none of it seems to work

app.js 
const contentDiv = document.getElementById("content");
let newParagraph=document.createElement('p');
newParagraph.className='panel';

div.appendChild(document.querySelector('.panel'));
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>DOM Manipulation</title>
    </head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
    <body>
        <div id="content">

        </div>
        <script src="app.js"></script>
    </body>
</html>

You have to append the new element you created (newParagraph) to the div contentDiv:

contentDiv.appendChild(newParagraph);
