Introduction During the scientific revolution in 1550 to 1800 there were two men . It was the battle of the time, Boyles and Hobbes. Hobbes thought that science should be based on logic and reason, this meant that scientist should think about their questions and come to a philosophical answer. Boyle that science should be based on empirical results which means data, he also thought that scientist should use rigorous investigation methods to answer their question. Basically summed up was Boyle wanted science based empirical results on (new version) of science, which we use today and Hobbes wanted to keep the old version of science which is logic and reason. Boyle won the debates and that's why we do experiments in science instead of thinking. In this lab our question is how does the arrangement of lightbulbs that are connected to a battery affect the brightness of a single bulb in that circuit? While doing this lab we are also trying to learn how to make a claim that answers the guiding question and how to justify the use of collected evidence with science knowledge and understanding.

We used 4 formations of the conductors to see which one would shine the brightest. The first formation we did was a series circuit, that involved 2 conductors. The second formulation we did was a parallel circuit which evolved 2 conductors. The third formation we did was a series circuit but this time we used 3 conductors. We did this just by attaching a conductor to one that was already connected to the battery. The fourth and final formation we did was a parallel circuit with 3 conductors. We analyzed the data by rating the brightness on a 1 to 10 scale. 1 was the lowest brightness and 10 was the highsted brightness. We organized the data on a table comparing the type of circuit and how many conductors there
