My research is to determine if electricity moves better through thick wires or through thin wires. For this experiment I used two size D batteries‚ two flashlight bulbs‚ one 6.5 inch thin steel wool piece‚ one 6.5 inch thick steel wool piece‚ two 2 inch pieces of straw‚ and some electrical tape. Steel wool is a material made from thin fibers of steel made into a pad. (http://www.wisegeek.com/l-what-is-steel-wool.htm) There are many uses for steel wool.
