Let’s LED it up

I learned many things from watching the LED it up video’s. The things I learned go from simple to more complicated. Before today I didn’t even know what a bread board is! Now I know that they are little pieces of medal underneath certain parts of the bread board that I boards made of plastic with holes in them. There are also little pieces of medal underneath this holes. You can put cables inside these holes, and the medal from underneath will complete the circuit! This circuit can them light up an LED. This is a very useful things to know. I also learned that while creating circuits it is important you know which side of is it positive and which is negative. This seems like common knowledge,  most people know that negative goes to positive and the same vice versa. But now I know when it is important and when it doesn’t matter. Last but not least, I learned that their are female and male cables that can be used to create a circuit. Male cables have wires that go out, and female cables have wires that go in. Thus, you can connect them by sticking one inside the other.  This makes life a lot easier because without them things would need to be held together with our own hands. Yet, these are only the things that I have learned from the first 5 video’s. I’ll continue watching and learn even more about circuits.

Here are 2 images of what we created:
