SERIES AND PARALLEL CIRCUITS - LAB

PROBLEM: 
Are there different paths that electricity can take, and still perform the same function?

HYPOTHESIS:

MATERIALS:
Alligator clips, lamp holders, bulbs, batteries

 SERIES CIRCUIT
Use materials to make a series circuit.  Include at least one light bulb and one switch.  Draw your final circuit below.  Make sure your teacher looks at the circuit before you take it apart.


Series Circuit

PARALLEL CIRCUIT
Using materials to make a parallel circuit.  Draw your final circuit below.  Make sure your teacher looks at the circuit before you take it apart.  


Parallel Circuit

CONCLUSIONS:  
(How do parallel and series circuit differ?)
