This circuit demonstrated how to wire a simple series circuit using 3 AA batteries, 2 LEDs, 2 buttons, foam, and wires. The batteries are placed in a battery pack with the positive wire running through each of the LEDs and buttons and the negative wire running through the other so that when both buttons are pressed, the red and yellow LEDs light up.

Front of the series circuit. Both the red and yellow LED lights emit when the buttons are pressed.Â
The back of the series circuit consists of 3 batteries wired to two LEDs with 2 respective buttons
The circuit demonstrated how to wire a parallel circuit using 2 AA batteries, 1 LED, 2 buttons, foam, and wires. The batteries are placed in a battery pack with the positive wire running through each of the LEDs and buttons and the negative wire running through the other so that when either one of the buttons are pressed, the red LED lights up.
