Check understanding
- Describe the pattern: more cells (or higher voltage) = brighter bulb / louder buzzer
- Explain that more cells provide more energy to the circuit
- Predict the effect of changing the number of cells on a component's behaviour
“Can your child explain why adding a second battery makes the bulb brighter, and predict what happens with three batteries?”
