→Part 2 - Light Sensor
** measure the "dark" resistance. (cover the resistor with your hand, or try shutting it in one of the lab cabinets)

* Set up a voltage divider with the photoresistor and a 10K resistor. You can take your the circuit from before the end of Part 1 and replace the potentiometer with the photoresistor. What range of output voltages can you get by covering or uncovering the photoelement?
