Build a Light Bulb – Sick Science! #079
Read the full experiment at http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/content/experiment/build-a-light-bulb-circuit-science When you are conducting experiments and demonstrations using electricity, you’ll use the science of circuits. Amazing things are possible with circuits including alarms, radios, and lights. In the Build a Light Bulb experiment, you’ll use household items to construct a complete circuit that results in a homemade light bulb.

Do you think the brand of the lead/carbon matters? It did not work with one brand and worked better with another one. Also do you think it matters if we use alligator clips with a single copper wire?
Im doing this experiment for my 5th grade science project Thanks appreciate it
I'm trying this and is not working . Why ???? 🙁
For the longest time it didn't work, but turns out some of the batteries just weren't touching underneath the tape (with tape over them push them together manually). I also tossed out the pan because it really only serves as a way to capture the broken lead. Also if you don't have thick lead and the lead keeps breaking, just line up two leads into the alligator. It should workout; hope I was some help because I know I couldn't find any useful comments.
Guys tell me Is this Experiment Worked
