    • The items I chose to stay the same are:
    • The type of battery.
    • The type of copper wire.
    • The type of electrical tape
    • The same type of paper clips

    2. Wrap the copper wire tightly around the bolt, (leave excess copper wire on both ends to attach to the battery).
    3. Attach one end of the copper wire to the positive and the other to the negative. 
    4. Secure with electric tape.
    5. Now you’re done.

The results might have looked different if the copper wire was wrapped more tightly around the bolts, and if I used iron instead of steel  bolts. It would be interesting to see a different outcome if I used different sized bolts.]]> 2017-06-09 17:39:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jg50389/1i3tlv1badh5/wish/175907072
