Today's new experiment




How are you today? Well I feel like I'm the queen of electricity today because we made our very own light bulb. Yes it was challenging but it was very fun. If you would like to know how to make your own light bulb here is how you do it...
First you will need...
At least 8 or more D sized batteries, a small pie tin, a half cut toilet roll, a empty jar, a spring or a hard pencil led or a soft pencil led, tape and wire with alligator clips on both ends. First you tape all 8 batteries together. Secondly you tape your alligator wire onto the roll, a little tip, make sure that the alligator clips are the same way or it won't work. When your done, you tape the roll and  the wire on the pie tin. After you've finished that you put either a spring, a hard pencil lead or a soft pencil lead in the wired clips, then you carefully put the jar over top of it, then you ask someone if they can push the batteries together. While you put the alligator clips on the ends of the batteries and then that is how you make a light bulb. If you want to make things interesting try and add or take away batteries and see what happens. here is a picture of what mine turned out to  be.
Enjoy making your light bulbs.
