Tech #8

We made our second circuits a few weeks ago. In this circuit we didn’t try to make just one LED light up. We tried to make three light up! This circuit was a lot more complicated because more LED lights equals more wires to cut. Cutting the wires was kind of difficult for me. In the beginning I couldn’t do it and had to get help but then I cut my first wire and it got easier from there!  Placing the wires was also confusing because they had to line up with the LED light on both sides. You also had to place your resister. There were two resisters that looked extremely alike so if you used the wrong one your LED light wouldn’t light up. Then you had to connect the battery cap to the battery and you had to use a 9 bolt battery or else the LED lights wouldn’t light up. You had to connect the black wire to a side and the red wire to a side. At first my LED light wouldn’t light up and I didn’t know why. I started from the begging and it flashed on a few times and eventually it did light up….. then went off again. I’m not sure why it wou;dent light up. Maybe it was the battery but on the box it said “guarantee five years”. I liked the challenge and trying to get the light to light up again.
