Simple Curcuit

Today I learnt something interesting.  We had to do a simple circuit. First, I drew a diagram. Then we made the circuit by following my diagram. The circuit will only work with 2 batteries, not one. I also learnt that if the battery carries more power then the bulb will be brighter. If it carries less power then it will be darker. This simple circuit was great and amazing to do.  

How is electricity measured?

Today we learnt how electricity is measured. We learnt also about the hose in the hose the is forced to come out and the name for it is called Watts. When you turn on the tap it is calle volt, the measurement of it is called the Amps. Today in reading I've learnt something awesome and that was about the hose.
