board and solder wires from the two tabs to the two ends of the resistor (Figure
2.) To make the clock go slower and faster you remove the resistor entirely and
connect a pot of larger value than the removed resistor in its place (Figure 3.)

If this doesn’t make sense in the abstract, check it out. Use the meter to measure
some series and parallel combinations of fixed resistors. Then try some
modifications to a toy clock circuit.

Theory class is over. Back to work.
