Torch Challenge

We are learning to make a closed circuit. Electricity is a power made of energy from an electric circuit. Electricity in a torch comes from an closed circuit. My group had to have 6 wires, a light bulb, electrical tape, tin foil, cardboard and 2 C size batteries. I got a couple of electric shocks but the light still did not work.
My group found it easy to connect the wires.
My group found it tricky to make the light work.
Next time we would research how to make it work and use the internets instructions.

This is what NOT to do (also what we did).
What we did first was tape the wires to the batteries with electrical tape. Then we connected the 6 wires to each other by twisting them. After we taped the light to the wires but it still did not work. We did not know what the foil and cardboard was for so we left it aside.

Here is the video of our classes lights being made.
