This week I made a parallel circuit. I had 4 LED lights light up really brightly by using wires, a resistor, a battery, and 4 LED lights. It worked at first, but then a wire disconnected so when I reconnected it I think I short circuited it. The LED light smelled really bad but that’s it. Next time I should probably be more careful when making ciruits.

This week I made an electroscope and I cut/stripped some wires. My electroscope didn’t work but I think it is because I might have put too much tape to stabilize the paperclip. For the wire cutting/stripping it wasn’t to hard to cut it, but it was a little hard to strip the wires.

This week I made a crank, it did work and spin. This one didn’t have to much glue so it didn’t get stuck and it spun easily. It was cool to watch the crank turn a horizontal motion into a vertical motion. I didn’t think it was so simple to do  that with just paper and glue.
