  9. One of the filaments in the bilb is going straight down to the bottom and the other goes down then curves under the glass and comes back up to the top of the thread, it is that way cause when you touch the side and the bottom the energy goes to the wavy filament at the top I'm order for it to light.

  15. Kayla-
    One of the filaments goes straight down to the bottom of the bulb and the other curves and comes back up to the side and is connected to the thread of the bulb. I think it is connected like this so that when the thread is touched the energy goes through the bulb and the bottom does the same causing the bulb to light up.

  20. Becca- One part of the filament goes straight to the nub of the bulb. The other one goes to the threads of the bulb. This arrangment is important because the wire must touch either the nub or the threads and if a filament isn't there then the bulb will not light because it wouldn't be a complete circuit.
