• metal paperclip

• plastic pen

• wood pencil

Kelli was investigating the flow of electricity through a circuit. Kelli created two different circuits and made observations about which circuit demonstrated a closed loop.

Based on the diagrams of Kelli’s circuits, what did Kelli observe?

• Bulbs 1 and 2 lit. Bulbs 3, 4, and 5 did not light.

• Bulbs 1 and 2 did not light. Bulbs 3, 4, and 5 lit.

• Bulbs 1 and 2 lit. Bulbs 3, 4, and 5 lit.

• Bulbs 1 and 2 did not light. Bulbs 3, 4, and 5 did not light.
