The Project
For this project, we learned about circuits, motors, and electromagnets. The final project for this unit was to build something using an Arduino kit and a breadboard. We had to use 3 different components, and write the code. For our project, my partner and I made a true or false quiz using our LCD screen, two LED's, and two buttons.
Our Robot Art Show
Our project was a true or false quiz; we programmed an LCD screen to display 9 different questions, and when a button is pressed, it will show the correct answer and give you 1 point if you get it right. We also made our green and red LED's light up when you press the true or false button. At the end of the game, it displays your score.

Content
Coulombs Law- Force of attraction/repulsion between 2 static charges is proportional to their charges and inverse to the square of the distance between them. F== kq1q2/r^2.
Parallel Circuit- A circuit with branches, each with a separate path for flow of charge/electrons. 1/rtotal= 1/r1+1/r2+1/r3...
Series Circuit- Circuit with a single path and multiple components, one after the other, all on the same path. rtotal=r1+r2+r3...
Current- Flow of charge/electricity through the circuit. Measured in Amps (A). Equation is V=ir.
Voltage- Potential energy difference from one side of the component to the other side. Measured in Volts (V). V=ir.
Resistance- Amount the current is slowed or resisted through an obstacle. Measured in Ohms (Ω). V=ir.
Power- Rate of transferring electrical energy through a circuit.

Reflection
Overall, I enjoyed this project. I liked doing our Arduino experiments and doing our Robot Art Show as a final project. The project I liked the least was our blinky light quiz, because following circuit diagrams is confusing to me. Some things I did well during this project were critical thinking and creativity. I wrote the code for our project, and I used critical thinking to do it. I used parts of the Arduino code that we used, and when I was stuck I used my resources. I also used creativity because I came up with the idea for our project, and I think it is a good one. I am proud of the work I did for this project. Some things I could improve on for the future are collaboration and communication. I could have asked for more input on my ideas from my partner. I felt like I did a lot of the work, and I think I could have included my partner on more things. This project was pretty fun, but it was definitely one of our longer projects, and I am glad it's over.
