-During this extensive project we learned about electromagnets, programming, and how electricity works within things. The first part of this project was basic electromagnets that we created. My group ran experiments to test if different gauge wires created a distinct difference in a basic electromagnet
-We worked in the programming site Arduino with the sixteen different activates within the tutorial. It teaches you to learn basic code with lights, buzzers, and motors.

Reflection-
Within the four or so weeks I was in three separate groups. Within these groups I think I did a decent job in improving my leadership skills. I also thought I was better at remembering the concepts for the unit.

Concepts-
Circuits: circuits are complete loops of conductive material from one side of a power source like a 1.5V battery (positive) to the other side of the battery (negative). It needs to have a voltage, current, and resistance. v{voltage}= i{current} x r{resistance}.
Voltage: the variable V, voltage is the drop. The unit for voltage is volts (v).
Current :An electric current is a flow of electric charge. In electric circuits this charge is often carried by moving electrons in a wire. It can also be carried by ions in an electrolyte, or by both ions and electrons such as in a plasma.
Resistance: Represented with the variable r, resistance is the amount the current is slowed or resisted through a component of a circuit. The unit for resistance is Ohams (Ω). Circuits can either be in parallel or series.
Parallel Circuits: A parallel circuit consists of two or more pathways that current can "choose" to go through. In parallel, voltage is the same on all of the pathways. In parallel, current splits between pathways. In parallel, to find the total resistance, add the inverse of each resistor
Series Circuits: A series circuit is a circuit where currents must run through all components one after another. In series, voltage splits up. In series, current remains the same throughout. In series, to find the total resistance, add the resistors together. Circuits were used extensively.
Kirchhoff's Laws: The Current Law: The sum of the currents going into a connection must equal the sum of the currents leaving the connection.
The Voltage Law: The sum of the voltages around a circuit must be equal to zero. Ohm's Law: v{voltage= (I x R)
