LED Flasher
- Function of the circuit: The function of this circuit was to make a LED flash.

- Components used in the circuit (listing with basic definitions): LED-the part of the circuit that flashes. 555 IC - A microscopic electronic circuit. r1- 4.7K (YEL-VIO-RED) - resists the flow of electricity. r2-10k (BRN-BLK-ORG) - resists the flow of electricity. r3-1k (BRN-BLK-RED) - resists the flow of electricity. C1 10 uf - Is used to store an electrical charge.

- Explanation of difficulties encountered while creating the circuit:

Difficulties- We had a lot of difficulties during the experiment. Sometimes we had to go back and check everything to make sure it was right, and other times we accidentally missed a step. There were times that a wire or part of the circuit didn't work, and sometimes we made a simple mistake. In a circuit, everything has to be perfectly in place, or it won't work. We had the most difficulty getting everything right.

555 Circuit
- Function of the circuit: The function of the circuit is to make the speaker beep.

- Components used in the circuit (listing with basic definitions):

555 IC - A microscopic electronic circuit. 3 resistors - resists the flow of electricity Capacitor - used to store an electrical charge.

- Explanation of difficulties encountered while creating the circuit: Once again, we had difficulties getting everything to work. Every wire has to be perfectly in place, or the whole circuit won't work. So, when it doesn't work, you have to go though and check the whole circuit and make sure you didn't misplace anything. There are so many things that could have gone wrong, and it's very unpredictable. This seems to be the struggle in our electricity experiments. media type="custom" key="547733" Video 1: Whats wrong? media type="custom" key="547735" Video 2: results media type="custom" key="547739" Video 3: Take it apart
