LED It Up

I learned many things during my experience learning about LED’s, breadboards, circuits, wires, etc. One specific thing that I learned is that wires can be either male, female, or male/female. Each wire has 2 ends, the end either having a piece of wire coming out or having a hole. The female wires have the wholes at the end, while the male wires have extended wire/metal at the end. In addition to learning about male and female wires I learned how to create a circuit/make an LED light up on a breadboard by creating a loop, contained of both positive and negative sides. I learned how to connect one wire to a positive row and another wire to a negative row and create a circuit by connecting the other half of the positive side and the negative side to the breadboard and creating a circuit from there. Lastly, I learned that sometimes there is too much energy going through the circuit and in order to contain the energy one must use a resistor to slow down/ limit the flow of energy.
