electrical circuits

I have a project due monday for Electrical Engineering.

I was given a breadboard and 25 resistors, as well as the voltage at 5 nodes, initial voltage of the power source, and initial current. We were supposed to try to figure out what resistors were needed at which nodes, and if they needed to be ran in parallel or series etc etc. It was pretty easy, just used voltage drop / current = resistance.

Anyways, I did all my calculations, so now I just need to know how to put the resistors in the breadboard. Ive just never used one of these things so I have no clue where to begin, its a pretty simple circuit. They are going to hook up the breadboard to a power source and test it in class, so I have to get this right lol. They are going to test at each of the 5 nodes.

Any help would be amazing.

hmm

now i know theres some engineers on here

Is it solderless or not?

you don't know how to build a project? go search google for a solder tutorial or something...you should be able to find all you need. RS carries all the project wire and stuff you should need for this.

i have the breadboard, resistors with wires already on them, etc.

i just dont know how to **** put them in lol theres like 200 litttle squares on this thing

ill try google...

wow good ****ing response.

I know how to stick a **** piece of wire in the slot, I dont know where to start and i dont know where to end each one at.

the column starts with the positive at the top, with 2 rows, and then rows a-j, and then 2 rows for negative i guess

across there are 30 blocks from a-j, and 25 blocks for the 2 positive and 2 negative rows

so it looks like this,
