What question most likely arose after the students made 4 attempts?

• what other configurations will light the light bulb

• how does the size of the lightbulb affect it's brightness

• will the bulb light if it is disconnected from the battery

Claim- To make an electric circuit, there must be a closed path that extends from the positive to the negative end of the battery. Based on this claim, why did the lightbulb fail in attempts 1 and 2.

• the wiring connecting the lightbulb was too short

• the wire does not connect the lightbulb to the negative end of the battery

• the lightbulb was touching the positive end of the battery

• the battery was not powerful enough to light the lightbulb

• connect the lightbulb to the negative end of the battery

• wrap a second copper wire around the metal part of the lightbulb

• move the copper wire from the positive end to the lightbulb

Based on the image shown below, which best describes the model shown.

• 
• the land masses moved along the same plane.

• The tension of the fault caused the land masses to pull apart.

• Because of the force between them, that masses caused the road to buckle in the middle.
