Science exploration. What happens if...?

 In science, Giraffes used their knowledge of circuits to help them devise and test out What happens if...? questions. 

Working with others, we decided on a question to investigate before making a prediction about what would happen. We used the skills we learnt in the last lesson, to draw a diagram of the investigation, noted the results and made a conclusion.

What happens to the sound of the buzzer if I change the length of the wires?
