I like a challenge… but

What happens if
are my circuit building
I add more bulbs
skills up to it?
to my circuit?

You will need:

 Bulbs the switches controlling one bulb each.

Investigate ways of adding more bulbs to your circuit.

Create a circuit with 4 bulbs in series. Draw your circuit, explaining how it works.
Is it a series or parallel circuit?
What do you notice?
