EVIDENCE OF WORK
Description:
To create our robot art show we first had to learn abut the basics of circuits, programing, and electronics. To do this we were given an Arduino one kit, which came with a breadboard, a redboard, and a cable to connect the arduino to the computer. The kit came with a booklit, that had models that we could put together on the breadboard, which connected to the redboard. We were also given code, that if everything was put in the right spots correctly, would do the task that was shown in the booklit. An example of this was turning a light on, and then turning it off, repeating that process until we told it to stop. After creating about 25 experiments, we were tasked to create our own experiment, and write our own code. My group and I decided to play a running man game, which consisted of many jumper wires, a button, a resister, and a lcd screen. After many days of trial an error, my group was able to create this.

Coulomb's Law: The amount of force between two electrically charged particles at rest: F=k q1q2/r^2
Series and parallel circuits: "series" are when components are connected without anything innerupting them. When adding and subtracting circuits in series, you normally add and subtract them. "parallel" circuits are circuits that are connected across from one another, creating multiple routs. To add circuits in parallel together you put them in the fraction form 1/r1 (+ or -) 1/r2... Then after you add the fraction together you find the reciprocal of the fraction.
Ohms Law: The equation V=IR says that the votage across a resistor is equal to the current flowing through it, multiplied by the resistance.
Programing: My biggest takeaways from programming is most of the times you end a line of code with a ;. I also learned to start a code you have to have to have void "setup(){", and to have the code run over and over you need to put void loop(){.
Electric current: In an electric current, an magnetic field is created. This is because when charged particles move, they create a magnetic field due to their movement.
Reflection:
I think I did well on my critical thinking and my contentious learning during this unit. I had no idea how code and programing worked so I was very interested. This led to me learning a totally new subject which took a lot of concentration. But overall I really enjoyed learning how circuits and programing worked.
Two things that I think I need to improve on is my character and communication. I think these two go hand in hand, focusing how I interact, and treat the people who I work with. Sometimes I can take my needs into consideration before their needs, which can cause me to be rude or upset.
