​

Challenge 1

​

• Using the wire, battery and a light bulb can you make a circuit that works?

​

• When you have done that, can you snip an image of your circuit, paste it into a Google Slide below and then explain why it works?

Circuit 1

​

Challenge 2

​

• Next to your first circuit can you make another circuit so you can compare both
• Investigate and observe what happens to the brightness of the bulb if you
• Add more batteries.
• Add more bulbs
• Again, snip an image of your circuits and write your observations in a Google Slides below.

Circuit 2

​

​

Extension

​

• Try placing resistors in your circuit. What do you notice happens to the brightness of the bulb? Why do you think this might be?

​

• Use the voltmeter and ammeter to measure the voltage and current in your circuits. What do you notice and why do you think this happens?
