led lights post

I learned about male and female wires. This is important because you need to have the correct wires in order to correctly wire your motor or in this case led.

using bread boards. Bread board are ways to make numerous connections. We can put wires into inputs instead of just pressing the metal parts of the wires directly to power sources. The bread board have metal strips in them that way we can direct positive and negative charges to rows of the bread board using wires. If to much power is head toward an led you will burn it out. This is why we use resistors to slow down the amount of power going to the led.

Making circuit diagrams- I learned how to make circuit diagrams, which show the flow of energy that start from the positive of the power source (Battery) to the returning to the negative of the positive source. This completes the circuit. If you place or light in the between the circuit it shows that the battery is powering the light. you can put a switch in the circuit before the light, it represents a light switch. a switch is represented by and opening or close section in the circuit.
