Pretzel Circuit 😋📊

Today we made a Pretzel Circuit. We had students walking around a tape line. We had two students as light bulbs and one as a battery.  

The "battery" person gave the other students 2 pretzels which represented the energy given to the electrons. First we made a series circuit. In this circuit we had to pass all through one way which means that out of 2 volts we had to leave one at each light bulb. This is how a series circuit works. 

Then we did a parallel circuit. The people used as the battery and the light bulbs stayed the same. The only difference in this circuit is that in a parallel circuit the electrons choose which path they want to go. Each lightbulb has its own connection to the battery. Which means that each of us had to put the bolts we got from the battery to the light bulb.
