It takes one wire to light a bulb! There are two different orientations of ways to light the bulb, and each way can be divided again to reveal a new way to light the bulb. I will go over these ways below, but first, here are the prompts we followed during the experiments:
White and Yellow Papers:
Orientation #1: the battery is standing, the light bulb is standing upright on top of the battery, and the wire is touching the bottom end of the battery and the side of the light bulb. Flip the battery to get the second way to light the bulb for this orientation.
Orientation #2: the battery is standing, the bulb is laying down on top of the battery, and the wire is touching the bottom end of the battery and the side of the light bulb. Flip the battery to get the second way to light the bulb for this orientation.
Green Paper:
Lighting the bulb using 2 pieces of wire:
Without the bulb touching the battery?
By using two wires, the bulb is not directly touching the battery.
Blue Paper:
Lighting 3 bulbs:
We can light 2 bulbs with one battery:
Lighting a bulb with 2 batteries:
What happens to the bulb if you continue to add batteries?
The more batteries you use, the brighter the bulb will light up.
Red Paper:
We were unable to complete or try any of the prompts on the red paper.
