Learning Objectives
Associate the brightness of a lamp with the number and voltage of cells used in the circuit. Recording data and results of increasing complexity using scientific diagrams.
Learning Outcomes
I know that the brightness of a bulb can be changed by adjusting the voltage of cells in a circuit. I can record results of investigations by drawing circuit diagrams.
