In this investigation, students figure out how the addition of more batteries and bulbs to a closed-circuit affects the brightness of a bulb within that circuit.
The Batteries and Bulbs in a Closed Circuit kit include all the materials that students will need to design and carry out an investigation.
Each kit contains enough materials for six groups of students.
Materials:
- Miniature light bulbs
- Miniature light bulb holders
- Wire
- Wire cutter
- Battery holders
- Batteries
