Please help me

1. Let's start out "easy" by making a light bulb light up. Use ONLY one battery, two wires, and a light bulb. You may want to refer to the textbook for help in what each component in a circuit should look like. Take a screen-shot of your lite bulb and place it below.

2. What seems to be making the light bulb turn on in your circuit? (what do you think electricity is based on the simulator?)

3. Make a gap in the circuit, then go to the grab bag and test each of the items there to see if they allow #2 to happen. Do so by placing these items in the gap you just created.

Objects that allow electricity to flow (conductors)	Objects that do NOT allow electricity to flow (insulators)

4. Now take two bulbs, and one battery, and as many wires as you like, and create a circuit which makes BOTH bulbs light up, but when the connection is broken, BOTH bulbs go out. Once you have found the correct mechanism, attach a screenshot of your circuit below:

5. Why did BOTH bulbs go out when you broke the connection?

This is called a series circuit where all circuit components are in one line. The line is not necessarily straight!

6. Now take your two bulbs, a battery, and as many wires as you like, and make a circuit which lights BOTH bulbs, but when you break the connection, only ONE bulb is NOT light. Attach a screenshot of the circuit below.

7. When you break the connection, why does one bulb stay light?

This is called a parallel circuit and contains two, or more!, individual loops that connect to the battery.

8. Now add in a third bulb, keeping the one battery, and as many wires as you like, create a circuit which has BOTH series and parallel components, which also lights up all three light bulbs. Once you have this completed, attach a screenshot below.

9. You design toys for a toy company. Your boss wants you to hook up the lights in the toy car you are working on in the cheapest way possible, without consideration of the quality of the toy. Which circuit should you use if you want to save money by using fewer parts? Why would this circuit be cheaper?

10. You are an electrician working on a house. What type of circuit should you use for the house so that the owners don't call to complain about their wiring? Why use this circuit?
