Today we worked with LED lights, circuits, breadboards, and switches.

The most basic thing that I learned was how to light up an LED with a 3V battery.  You have to match the correct side together in order to get it to light up.  The positive has to be connected to the negative and reverse for the other side.  By simply touching the prongs to the battery it immediately lights up. Without wires or switched the light bulb lit up! See picture below

I learned how to use a switch in a circuit.  We connected two wires on each end of the battery pack.  We then put the battery in the holder.  We connected one wire to the bottom of the switch.  Then take one of the prongs and connect it in another hole.  We then connected the other wire to the other prong of the LED.  The switch allowed us to control the flow of electricity from the battery,

I learned how to look up multiple LED’s on to the breadboard.  I learned how to connect circuits on different parts on the breadboard.  We connected the battery to a switch that was connected to the breadboard.  We then connected the wires to another part of the breadboard.  This connect the circuit so that the lights could light up.  After doing this we could put in more lights as long as they were in the same rows.  See picture below
