A science experiment that investigates how changes to electrical circuits affects their components.

Light bulbs produce light when they are connected to a closed circuit. Are there adjustments that we could make to those circuits that would allow the light bulb to glow more brightly? Let’s investigate!

This Energy experiment allows students to investigate the properties of electricity.

Students follow the scientific method to conduct the investigation, then complete the worksheets provided.
