Another "project" I will be working on this summer is with a book that will help me get more into and learn a lot more about electronics and circuits and what all the things in circuits are, how they can be used, and what they do exactly and their function in a circuit. The book came with a kit containing resistors, batteries, potentiometers, and a ton of other things for building circuits. I have done about 4 lessons using the book so far, out of about 11. the first experiment was basically licking a 9 volt battery to feel electricity, and the second on how to use a multimeter. The third and fourth, which you can see some of in the pictures section of this blog, was using double A batteries to light an led, one using a potentiometer and one without. I have also short circuited a couple batteries which was pretty fun, but only small batteries so as not to be dangerous. I look forward to posting more pictures about this kit and learning more about electronics along with what i'm learning with Professor Whitaker at the Millikan Lab.
