Today we figured out how to set up 3 bulbs in a series correctly we found that each bulb has to connect into the next one like so: 
Picture showing path of wires when 3 bulbs are in series,
top right (Red) is source of voltage and bottom right (black) is wire to ground



We also did the 3rd circuit on the lab sheet Which was a parallel circuit. When we checked it with the Multimeter we found that both bulbs in the circuit have the same available voltage because voltage does not have to be distributed between components because each bulb has its own path. This also means that If one is disconnected from the circuit the other will keep going. 
Tomorrow We are going to do the last circuit which is 3 Bulbs in Series Parallel
