Last week I did another cool project. The goal was to make a led light light up. Here is how to do it. But, before you start, you need to cut a wire to 4 inches long. Then, on each side of the wire you need to strip the wire, a quarter of an inch. Now you are ready to start. First, you take your bread board and stick the longer leg of the led light on the left, positive side of the bread board. You take the other leg and stick it in any of the holes on the right side in a negative spot. Then you take your battery and connect it to the piece with two wires connected to it. You take those two wires and at the ends, put them in the same rows and columns as the two ends of the led light. Next, you take your resistor and put it in the hole right above the negative wire that is connected to the battery, and put the other end of the resistor next to the negative end of the led light. Then you take the stripped wire and put one side of it in the hole above the positive side of the other wire that is connected to the battery. Finally, you put the other end of that wire next to the positive end of the led light, and watch it glow! I thought this was very cool, and it was fun to watch the led light suddenly light up!
