Science 9 House Project and Self Assessment

Project questions:

1: If you unscrew one light bulb then the other lights will go out if it is on a series circuit.

2: If you unscrew one light bulb then all the others will stay on if it is a parallel circuit.

3: the lightbulb in the series circuit would be brighter than the other ones because the two ones in the parallel circuit have to share the energy while the one in the series gets more.

4: you would have to add half the energy from the series light bulb on the two of the remaining light bulbs.

5: I think I collaborated a lot with my partner during this project. I think we built the house well but we could have improved on taping the wires a bit more.

 

 

COL:

1) I needed to research what a complex circuit was and I researched how to make a circuit.

2) I used the PHET simulations website to test my circuits to make sure the circuit designs worked.

3) we first came up with the idea, then researched that idea and came up with a conclusion after that.

4) we only used websites with .org, .ca or .edu

5) The project was very challenging to complete and things would randomly stop working because the tape wasn’t that good.
