Science -electricity

In science we investigated how we could alter the brightness of a bulb. Some groups chose to alter the number of batteries added to their circuits, others altered the number of bulbs,some changed the thickness of wires and others investigated the length of wires.
One or two thought the bulbs would blow as they were getting so bright and were surprised when they did not.In fact the bulbs dimmed and this meant they had to reason why this had happened. Lots of good investigating and questioning .

adding more bulbs...

what will happen if?

does the bulb work?

working together

using a kit from home-proved very popular-easy to use to show the effect of wire lengths

will it blow?

adding batteries...

Vincent's kit.Look like he is pleased with the results.

A successful afternoon-now we know how the brightness of a bulb can be altered and what the different results are due to.
