leonow 3/5

We continued working on our circuit lab.  Section 3 was to be completed by the end of the period today and the homework was assigned for tomorrow.  If you don't finish section 3, you may use some time at the beginning of the period tomorrow.  The lab, including section 4, is to be done no later than Wednesday.  Don't forget, the windmill/Rube Goldberg machine is due Friday and they can be brought in before school any day this week. 

The answer to the question of the day is when more bulbs are added in parallel, the total resistance increases and current is allowed to flow more freely, indicated by the increased brightness of the bulbs.  On the other hand, when more bulbs are added in series, the total resistance decreases and the current moves slower.
