Build an Electrical Circuit ExperimentIn order for electricity to travel to where we need it, there must be a complete circuit of electricity. A complete circuit is like a circle. Electricity is produced at one place, travels around the circuit, and returns to the starting place.
Materials.
Directions and Observations ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2. Use masking tape to connect one end of each wire to the light bulb base. 3. Tape one free wire end to each end of the battery. Was your prediction under step 1 correct? Circle YES or NO. If you circled NO, explain what was wrong with your prediction. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Going Further 2. Watch as your teacher sets up a circuit with one battery and 11 light bulbs. Was your prediction under step 1 correct? Circle YES or NO. If you circled NO, explain what was wrong with your prediction. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ 3. Suppose you wanted to build a circuit with 24 light bulbs. What adjustments would you have to make to be sure that all the bulbs would light up? ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
