Week 3: Day 2

Today I continued working on the re-do of my lab report. Since the last two attempts were a failure, I did this one slowly to make sure everything was in order.

With my group members, I typed up the procedure and used screenshots. Then I edited it again and again. The process was painstakingly slow, but it is necessary to be meticulous so we don't have to do it again.

In addition, designing our experiment was hard even with help. While we know the information, it is hard to put it all in words in a lab report. However, in the end, we did get the procedure done, and it seemed understandable. What we started learning last class and completely understood this class was the way the electric current flows in different types of circuits. Here is the summary:

In this series circuit, the electric current runs the same amount throughout the circuit. There are three lightbulbs 0.9 amps. It is divided by three, so there are 0.3 amps running throughout the circuit.

In this particular parallel circuit with three bulbs, when the electric current flows through the first bulb, the current decreases by 0.9 amps. After the current flows through the second bulb, it decreases by 0.9 amps.

At home I did extra research just to make sure that the lab report made sense- and it did. I did every part of the report, but I still need to go over the conclusion, which I will do next class.
