Today went really well. I must say I was concerned with letting go of the "rules" and having you students use your mobile devices to post. Terrific job!
The best answer to the questions is something along the lines of "The arrangement pictured will not light because the bulb is not receiving current to its bottom." You could also have added that this arrangement is much like numbers 7 and 9 that did not light when you tested them. This would be your evidence. So, new question, WHY DOES both the bottom and side of the bulb have to be touched in that arrangement?

ReplyDeleteBoth the bottom and the side of the side of the bulb must be touched for the bulb to light because that enables the electricity to flow through it in a circuit. If only one end is touched the it does not complete the circuit.
Brian-to create a current through the bulb
ReplyDeleteBethany-
ReplyDeleteThe bottom and threads of the bulb have to be touched in that arrangement because the current must be able to flow through the bulb for it to light.
Kristyn- The electrical current must flow through the entire bulb, not just either the bottom or the threads. This completes the circuit so that the bulb will light.
ReplyDeleteBecca- so an electrical current can flow through the wire,battery, and bulb.
ReplyDeleteThe bottom and the side of the bulb must both be touched because the electrical current has to pass through the bulb, one touching a negative charge and the other touching a positive charge. Connor
ReplyDeleteIt has to touch both the bottom and the threads so the current can flow through the wire and into the light bulb then through the battery. -Andy
ReplyDeleteIt has to be touched in that arrangement so energy can flow through the battery and into the bulb.
ReplyDeleteHunter-because the bulb has two ends. And both ends must be filled with power. But if only one end is filled then the bulb will not light.
ReplyDeleteBrooks- The bottom and the side of the bulb need to be touched by the battery on one side so that the current is going straight to the bulb and the opposite charge is going through the wire to the bulb so it completes the circuit and lights the bulb.
ReplyDeleteAsh- they both have to be touched because the energy has to flow through in a circuit.
ReplyDeletechandler~ to complete the circut of electrical curent from the battery to the bulb.
ReplyDeleteLauren- it touches both because it keeps the current flow going
ReplyDeleteDaniel so that it can both get the energy from the wire and the battery
ReplyDeleteDustin-it has to touch both sides Of the bulb to take in both P+ and N- energy
ReplyDeleteCole-it is a complete circuit but all of the energy is goIng tO the first thing it can
ReplyDeleteBecause in order to light it has to touch the thread of the bulb &the battery jd
ReplyDeleteLauren N. because the battery needs an outlet for the used energy to pass through. you either need two wires or the battery to touch the other end of the bulb. the threads or the nub.
ReplyDeleteAli T- It needs to touch both to keep the current flowing in order for it too light!
ReplyDeleteKiera- because the used energy from the battery needs an outlet
ReplyDeleteSarah- To keep the current flowing, it has to touch both. Then it will light.
ReplyDeleteBrett
ReplyDeletethey both need to be touched to keep the current flowing correctly
Arianna:
ReplyDeleteThe used energy from the battery needs an outlet. The bulb needs to be either touching the battery or two batteries are needed. This way the current is complete.
Logan F.
ReplyDeleteThe charge must go from the positive pole to the light bulb and from the light bulb to the negative pole to make a complete circuit.
Schyler- This must happen so that the electrons can pass through one part of the bulb then leave through the other without carrying a charge.
ReplyDeleteAdam F.
ReplyDeleteThe bottom and side have to both be touched so that the current is closed off for the electricity to flow freely through the light bulb, wire and battery.
Jacob D-
ReplyDeleteBoth sides of the bulb must be touched for the bulb to light because there has to be a complete circuit.
Jordan F. - they both have to touch to keep the current flowing throughout the circuit
ReplyDeleteJulia- the current needs to be continuous throughout the circuit
ReplyDeleteJacalyn fields - both the bottom and the top have to be touched to light the bulb so that the light will light
ReplyDeletechristoph- the current need to have both a positive and a negative charge to have the current and then the bottom of the bulb and the side of the bulb need to be touched as well
ReplyDeleteShamarkelle-So that the bulb would light
ReplyDeleteHeather-I dont know
ReplyDeleteAesha- They have to be touching so that a current can flow through it.
ReplyDeleteXzavioN Gordon- they have to touch because they have both charges flowing through in order for the bulb to ligh
ReplyDeleteWill-The circuit has to be following evenly
ReplyDeleteSadie- the bottom an side.have to touch for the bulb to light, and circuit has to touch.
ReplyDeleteKayla-
ReplyDeleteBecause the metal of the bulb and the battery need to touch so that the energy will go through the metal and light the bulb
Caitlynn-confusinq question
ReplyDeletetamia- because there has to be a electric current flowing through the wire in order for it to work on both positive & negative sides.! :)
ReplyDeleteTiana--it have to touch the bottom and the side because thats we're the energy flows through.
ReplyDeleteGage- because the circuit has to be complete while also entering and exiting the bulb.
ReplyDeleteKristyn- to make a current through the bulb
ReplyDeleteMadi- The circuit can't be open, it has to be complete.
ReplyDeleteAntasia- They both have to be touched so that the circuit can flow through the bulb
ReplyDeleteKatie- the circuit cant be open. It has to be complete while entering and exiting the bulb.
ReplyDeleteSo the circut can be light Cade C
ReplyDeleteShawn-the wire has to travel through the bulb to make it light and the circuit really has to be complete
ReplyDeleteElijah-
ReplyDeleteSo it will have a positive and negative charge! That way the bulb will light
Ryan-
ReplyDeleteBecause the bulb lights when we do it.
It has to be a complete circuit in order for the bulb to light.
They need too be touched because if they didn't touch it wouldn't complete a circuit. For they engery to flow through to light the bulb it the wire would have to touch both the bottom and side. -Emily f
ReplyDeleteSilas-The wire has to touch the battery and bulb in a certain position because the wire creates a circuit for the bulb so that's why the side of the bulb must touch the battery.
ReplyDeleteThe light and the wire have to be touching the battery to be able to complete the circuit.
ReplyDeleteKaylaW so that they could light and so they will have positive and negative charge
ReplyDeleteSara M.
ReplyDeleteThe bottom and sides of the bulb have to be touched because that's how the current travels through to light the bulb. It travels that way because metal is a conductor and glass isn't so it would be point less to touch the top.
Because It has to have both the negative and positive charge.
ReplyDeleteJessica j
They have to have a energy flow through
ReplyDeleteEmily J.(:
The bulb will need the wire to be closed so it can get enough electrity to and from the bulb
ReplyDeleteThe light and the wire have to be touching the battery to be able to complete the circuit.
ReplyDeleteDalton
To complete the circuit. :) -karlie
ReplyDeleteTrey - becuz te circuit has to be complete
ReplyDeleteThe side or the end of the bulb needs to touch the battery so the energy to flow through.
ReplyDeleteKirsten
isiah-i dont know
ReplyDeleteIf you want the energy to flow through the battery to the light, you need the light bulb to be touching the side and bottom of the battery............................Krystina Marshall
ReplyDeleteThe circuit has to be completed. Cory
ReplyDeleteIt will light if it has a positive and negative charge on the light bulb and the light bulb has to be touching the battery ruben
ReplyDeleteit will need the circuit closed so it can get electricity through all the way to power the bulb---shannon j.
ReplyDeleteThe bottom and side of the bulb are the only conductors on the bulb
ReplyDeleteTyyyyy
Clarissa- They both must be touched for the circuit to travel. They are the only conductors
ReplyDeletethe circuit has to be closed so the electrons can get to the bulb then out.
ReplyDelete--Malorie
ReplyDeleteIt will not make a complete circuit
-Darby
ReplyDeleteOne of those two places is the the place for the electrons to go in and the other is for the electrons to come out.
Morgan-
ReplyDeleteThe circuit has to be completely closed. 💡
Ashley A-It has to touch both so energy can flow through the circuit!
ReplyDeleteJohn-- It has to touch in that arrangement because if it doesn't then it will not be a complete circuit sO then the electricity won't flow in a circle
ReplyDeleteThe side or the bottom of the bulb has to be touching the battery so the energy can flow throught and make it light up.
ReplyDeleteAlden
ReplyDeleteThey both need to touch so that the current can flow through the circuit.
Emily7
ReplyDeleteI think that the side and the bottom of the bulb needs to be used because they are both conductors and the circuit is needs to be closed
Jonathan.
ReplyDeleteIt has to complete the circuit of the electrons to light.
Heath
ReplyDeletethe side and the bottom of the bulb must be touched so that the circuit is closed
Grayson- The threads and bottom of the bulb are the only conductors of electricity on the bulb
ReplyDeleteCami, the bottom and the side needs to touching for the current to travel.
ReplyDeleteJosh
ReplyDeleteThe threads and bottom of the bulb are conductors of the bulb and the circuit needs to be closed for the circuit to work and the flow of electrons to go through the battery and the bulb in a loop
So it will conduct electricity
ReplyDeleteMoira
Tierra The parts are both conductors and they have to touch so that it can make a complete curent
ReplyDeleteThe bottom and side of the bulb must be in that arrangement for a full circuit to be made.
ReplyDelete-Jake
Kyandra
ReplyDeleteThe side and bottom of the bulb needs to be touched so there can be a unbroken stream of electricity.
Kristian It must complete a full circuit dealing with contact with the threads and a specific part of the battery.
ReplyDeleteTyler
ReplyDeleteThe circuit has to be closed
The side or the bottom of the bulb has to be touching the battery so the energy can flow throught and make it light up.
ReplyDeleteKortney
Courtney-
ReplyDeleteThe bottom and threads of the bulb have to be touched in that arrangement because the current must be able to flow through the bulb for it to light.
There has to be a place for the electricity to go in and out. It has to be a closed circuit. Clay
ReplyDeleteBecause there needs to be a way for the light bulb to connect to both the negative and positive end of the battery. - Kayce
ReplyDeleteJordan M.- There must be both an input and and an output in all electrical devices and something must connect it all.
ReplyDeleteThe bottom and the side of the bulb have to be touching the battery because there has to be a flowing circulation it goes through the battery up from the bottom of the light bulb, through the bulb and then come out from the threads back through the wire and starts again with going through the battery
ReplyDelete- Sara T.
Jesica M- Because the side and bottom of the bulb are the only places on the bulb that will conduct electricity. And both have to be used to complete the circuit. :)
ReplyDeleteIt has to be a complete circuit, so the energy current will flow from the battery to the bulb for it to light.
ReplyDeleteso that it can transfer the energy from the wire back to the battery -wes
ReplyDeleteThere has to be an input and an output for the energy to flow. Anna
ReplyDeleteIt has to be a complete circuit, so the energy current will flow from the battery to the bulb for it to light. -sunita
ReplyDeleteStarling- because the bottom and threads are the only part that will continue the circuit
ReplyDeleteso the energy can go from the battery through the wire to light the bulb
ReplyDelete-Jasmine
Arianna- the bottom and the side of the battery need to be touched in order to have an electrical current pass through it.
ReplyDeleteLauren- the bottom of the bulb and the battery need to be touched or the filimant will have the energy travel through thw other wire.
ReplyDeleteMalik J.- the bottom of the bulb and battery need to be touched in order for it to work
ReplyDeleteBecause it is touching each filament support and when the wire touches the nub and threads it then hits the supports and makes the bulb LIGHT. ------JODI WATERS
ReplyDeleteBecause the filament is touching both of these so to complete the circuit both must be touched. Emily H
