1. Re-create the battery-wire-bulb solution.

2. Use the ammeter (measuring current in Amperes) , the voltmeter (measuring voltage in Volts), and changing the resistance of the bulb (resistance in Ohms) to answer the following questions:

How does the voltage (V) affect the current (I) in the circuit if resistance (R) is kept constant? Can you help me create a table and a graph with V in volts (V) on the x-axis and current in amperes (A) on the y-axis. You will need at least five data points. How does the resistance (R) affect the current (I) in the circuit if voltage (V) is kept constant? Can you help me create a table and a graph with R in Ohms (?) on the x-axis and current in amperes (A) on the y-axis. You will need at least five data points. write two conclusion paragraphs explaining what you found. Use the claim-evidence-reasoning format:

Claim - A statement that answers the original question or addresses the purpose of the experiment.

Example:

When the voltage increases, the current...

When the resistance increases, the current...

Evidence - Data that supports your claim. Brief description of your data.

Example:

When the voltage increases by a factor of __, the current...

When the resistance increases by a factor of __, the current...

Reasoning - Justification that links your claim to your evidence.

Example:

This shows a (direct, inverse) relationship between...
