Straws in series Obtain four straws and a few inches of masking tape. Tape two of the straws together end to end with about an inch of tape to make a new straw twice as long. Now add the third straw to make a straw three times as long. Be careful to keep the ends of the straws open and avoid gaps that might leak.

To gain additional insight about light bulbs in series, compare the level of difficulty in blowing air through a single straw, and three straws in series. Which one is more difficult to blow through?

How does the experiment with straws resemble the behavior of bulbs connected in series?

Please provide all steps and explain.
