javascript and dom

can't find what is wrong in my code

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

newParagraph.className = "panel";
newParagraph.appendChild();
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>

In this case newParagraph is the child you want to append. contentDiv is the parent.
