Animation speed problems

 

The PhET animation runs in your browser.  Depending on your computer and your browser, the program may not be able to maintain the animation speed when you have 3 light bulbs in parallel.  It then shows the battery overheating.
In a real experiment, if your battery was overheating, you could just connect a second battery in parallel.  But that does not work in the simulation, because it reduces the animation speed even further.

So what can you do?

You can choose a lower voltage for the battery, maybe 25 V or so.  Just state that you have picked a different voltage and do all of activity 1 with that different voltage.  That is what you would do if you did the experiment with a variable voltage supply and the supply was overheating.  The simulation can then maintain the animation speed.
 

(You could also choose bulbs with a larger resistance. If you do that all bulbs should have the same larger resistance and you have to state which resistance you used.)
