what do you want to do inside the media query? all you need to do is write the CSS inside the brackets of the media query.

To run your code in the media query, all you have to do is put the rules you want to set inside of its curly braces, it'll look just like normal CSS code, but it'll be "nested" in the media query. Take a look at this example:

@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {
  #gallery li {
    width: 28.3333%;
  }

}

So if I want to set the #gallery's list items to a certain width when the browser is greater than 480px, then I just put that rule INSIDE the media query's curly braces.
