  1. Good effort. Some feedback and questions for your group to keep in mind and investigate when doing the next few activities.

    1. The current flow from the positive side to where?
    2. Why does it flow from the positive side?
    3. Explore if your statement "When one bulb lights up after one another, the brightness of each bulb will decrease" is correct or wrong.
    4. Is the amount of current flowing through each light bulb the same?
    5. Is the amount of current flowing through the battery the same?
