We started the day off by using to multimeter to test the soldering on the circuit boards and learning the definition of continuity. We also tested the continuity of the power outlet we spliced. Next we examined a resistor and a solder-less board.
A solder less board is a great tool due to its ability to be used many times and have many ports for different resisters, compositors, LED's and batteries. We used the board to learn to create and test a circuit.
Next we set up three LED's and learned about how current and resistance affects the brightness of the LED's.
Finally we calculated the optimal Resistor needed to make the LED the brightest. As you can see in the photo of the red LED.
