"Solder Like a Pimp" part 01

Using diagrams we assembled parts in a breadboard kit in order to test circuits. Once the breadboard was assembled and running we experimented with varying values of resistors and capacitors. Trying atleast 2 different variations these are my 3 variations of outcomes:

I) Resistor 1: 120k ohm   Resistor 2: 33k ohm   Capacitor: 4.7uF
outcome: The L.E.D's blinked about every half second. 2 Blinks per second.

II) Resistor 1: 120k ohm  Resistor 2: 470 ohm   Capacitor: 22uF
outcome: About every second there was a short burst of light in the L.E.D (light emitting diode)

III) Resistor 1: 120k ohm  Resistor 2: 10k ohm  Capacitor: 10uF
outcome: I experienced two short blinks about every second. Short L.E.D bursts

Changing the ohm's of the resistors and capacity of the Capacitor created different timing frequencies. I will be attempting my second testing experience in Part 01with Part 02: Solder Like a Pimp in the actual creation of the circuit.
