More batteries, brighter bulb

电池越多,灯泡越亮

Description

Associate the brightness of a lamp or volume of a buzzer with the number and voltage of cells used in a series circuit

Mastery Evidence
  • Describe the pattern: more cells (or higher voltage) = brighter bulb / louder buzzer
  • Explain that more cells provide more energy to the circuit
  • Predict the effect of changing the number of cells on a component's behaviour
Assessment Prompt

Can your child explain why adding a second battery makes the bulb brighter, and predict what happens with three batteries?
