Pretzel Circuit

Today in physics, Miss Reid picked two students to be light bulbs and one student to be a battery. The student that was acting like that battery had a pretzel bag. The pretzel bag was filled with pretzels where the pretzels played the part of energy. The rest of the students were electrons. The rest of the students that were electrons had to travel to the battery to get energy (two pretzels)  and split it (pretzels) between the two batteries. This is what happened when we did the series circuit. However when we did the parallel circuit, when we would get energy, we would give both pretzels (energy) to one light bulb and move on. Not all the electrons gave the energy to one light bulb. Half of the electrons would give all its energy to one light bulb and the rest of the electrons would give their energy to the other light bulb.
