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.)
