For my physics house project, it says i have to have 2 lights connected in parallel with one switch and unequal brightness, using a resistor. Is there anyway to do this?

Well, what is it about parallel circuits that would make it work that way? Think about the way current and voltage flow through a parallel circuit. What makes a parallel circuit different in these regards compared to a series circuit? (I can't just answer this because it is a homework question, but I can try to help you!)
