A student constructs the circuit shown for a science demonstration. With the switches in these positions, which lights are on?

• All the lights

• Lights 1 and 2 only

• Lights 3 and 4 only

• None of the lights

A student builds a circuit allowing the lightbulbs to light, the buzzers to make sound, and the motors to turn. Which two switches can be open and still allow all of the parts to work?

• Switches 1 and 3

• Switches 1 and 4

• Switches 2 and 3

• Switches 3 and 4

A student wants to build a circuit with four lightbulbs and one bell. The student wants to place a switch in the circuit so that only one light will still be on and the bell will still ring when the switch is opened. Which of these circuits should the student build?

A group of fifth graders placed objects between the two wires shown at the red X in the circuit shown here. 

Study the image and the data table. Then answer the questions below.

Why did the light bulb stay lit when the penny and the aluminum foil were inserted into the circuit?  Brainstorm one other object that would also allow the light bulb to stay lit if placed at the red X.
