\subsection{Method} \subsection{Method for Johnson Noise}  To get the best measurement of Johnson Noise, we wanted to vary the $R_{in}$ from $10 \textrm{ k}\Omega$, $1 \textrm{ k}\Omega$ and $1 \Omega$. This is important because if our apparatus and measurements are correct, all of the different $R_{in}$ should generate the same value for the Johnson Noise, $k_B$. The $10 \textrm{ k}\Omega$ and $1 \textrm{ k}\Omega$ were used to calculate the $k_B$ while the $1 \Omega$ measurement was used as an error source that needed to be subtracted. As with all electronics, there is some innate error associated with the device, in order to subtract this, we took data with the $1 \Omega$ resistor.  \textbf{YOU NEED SOME SORT OF preliminary explanation} of what you are doing here before showering us with specific examples. For example, why data at $10 \textrm{ k}\Omega$, $1 \textrm{ k}\Omega$ and $1 \Omega$? The reader needs to know this before you start giving her the results for each of these cases.
