Light House

My partner and I decided to build a light house. We are doing this because the light house is a fun thing to build. We used recyclable materials such as, cardboard, lights, multimeter, 9V battery, wires, roll, and Gatorade bottle. We built a diagram to show the light bulbs current in ohms. After that we started to calculate the resistance so we can find the voltage/battery life in our battery. We used one one battery to power 4 light bulbs. The lights were equally bright. In conclusion the battery had the right power to light up all 4 bulbs.

This was a cool project for me to do and that’s why we decided to build a lighthouse. I also have seen lighthouses where i use to live and they're a very amazing thing to see and thought it would be great to make a sculpture. We didn't have the box/base we wanted, so we made a smaller version. Being taught how to use Ohm's Law really made this project easier.
