Project Questions:

1. Q: You have three light bulbs.  All have the same intensity when lit. Explain how you can prove to a classmate that they are connected in series by unscrewing one light bulb. Support your answer.A: If it is in a series circuit and one of the light bulb is unscrewed, then the whole circuit will “shut down” or just stop working since the electrons have only one pathway to go through, once its messed with, the whole circuit will just not light up.
2. Q: You have three light bulbs. All have the same intensity when lit. Explain how you can prove to a classmate that they are connected in parallel by unscrewing one light bulb.

   A: If it is in a parallel circuit and one of the light bulbs are unscrewed the other two will still light up. Since the electrons now have two pathways if one light dies they still have another pathway with two extra lights to go through.

3. Q: You have three light bulbs. Two are connected in parallel. This parallel combination is connected in series with the third light bulb. Describe the relative intensity of each bulb. Support your answer.

   A: The light bulbs in a parallel circuit will have more intensity because the electrons will first go through them and then will go through the last light bulb at the end.

4. Q: In question number three, describe the relative intensities of the two remaining lit bulbs if one of the bulbs in parallel was unscrewed. Support your answer.

   A: When the parallel light bulb is unscrewed the electrons will move towards the two remaining light bulbs and      intensify how bright they light up

5. Q: reflect on the quality of your ability to collaborate during this project. what did you do well? on what could you have improved?

   A: I collaberated well during this project. me and Jessica were able to get our work done on time and were able to have the materials we needed when we needed them. Jessica did most of the wiring and I did most of the actual building. We were able to stay on task and get everything done. I think next time we could split the work a bit better but other than that I think we did great.
