Well I just figured out what a capacitor is! In one of the snap-circuits there was a capacitor and I had no idea what it actually did. The capacitor stores energy flowing to it, but also lets some pass. If it is connected to a battery, it eventually accumulates the same voltage as the battery, so the wire can have no current. Visually, a light bulb would light and get dimmer as the capacitor stores energy.
I also started looking through what stuff we should probably get organized... and about had a heart attack. We've got some work to do.
