 * Participants**: List the participants in this experiment.
 * Purpose**: The purpose of this lab is to build an AM radio from basic parts.
 * Lab Documents**: Include a link to any documentation provided for the lab or any references used in writing the lab report.


 * Brief Description of Experiment**: In this experiment, we took basic items found around the classroom (wire, tin foil, text book, marker, tape, high resistance earphone, and a diode), and put them together and built a basic AM radio. We put up an antenna on the outside of the school, to help us get better reception, we also set up our ground to one of the grounds, in an electrical outlet.
 * Data**: Create a table (when appropriate) including all data collected or calculated during the lab. Be sure to include a heading for each column that includes the units of each measurement.
 * Sample Calculations:** For AM radio, sound waves are put onto a carrier wave, which has a frequency equal to the radio station you want. If you want to tune into channel 900 you would have to tell your radio to only pick up carrier waves with a frequency of 900khz. A radio can tune into certain channels by changing the resonant frequency at which the compacitor and inductor ocsillate.
 * RA statement about whether you think that the experiment produced a valid and reproducible result and reasoning supporting your statement.
 * A suggestion as to why your experimental results differ from any accepted value or your expected result (if appropriate).
 * A suggestion for a simple improvement to the experiment. Think about what caused problems, measurement inaccuracies, or inappropriate simplifying assumptions and propose a change. A sketch may be helpful.
