A series circuit is one that has more than one resistor, but only one path
through which the electricity (electrons) flows.
Parallel circuit:
A parallel circuit has two or more paths for current to flow through. Voltage
is the same across each component of the parallel circuit.

A breadboard is a solderless device for temporary prototype with electronics
and test circuit designs. Most electronic components in electronic circuits
can be interconnected by inserting their leads or terminals into the holes and
then making connections through wires where appropriate
Resistor:
a device having resistance to the passage of an electric current.
Oscilloscope:
a device for viewing oscillations by a display on the screen of a cathode ray
tube.
