  1. What are Amps and Volts and why do they matter when creating a circuit?

  2. What is a resistor and what does the resistor in Circuit 1 do?

  3. What is a bread board and why is it useful?

  4. What does the ground pin on the Arduino do?

  5. In Circuit 1, what does the red wire do?

  6. In Circuit1.ico, what are HIGH and LOW?

  7. In Circuit1.ico, what does the pinMode function do?

  8. In Circuit 1, swap the order of the resistor and the LED. What happens to the functionality of the circuit?

  9. Modify Circuit 1 to have 2 LEDs. How many resistors do you need to get both LEDs to work? Where do the resistors need to be located?

  10. Modify Circuit 1 to have 3 LEDs. How many resistors do you need to get both LEDs to work? Where do the resistors need to be located?
