Connect the 2 black wires together, put the wire nut one and make sure you screw it all the way, so it won't short out. Next connect the 2 white wires, with the wire nuts, the same as you did with the black wires. Next connect the ground wires, on the new fixture the are usually green or silver. the wire from the old fixture is usually copper. connect these together with the wire nut as you did with the black and white wires. Now that all the wires are connect, screw the light bracket to ceiling making sure you anchor it, so it won't fall. Use the drill to screw the screw in.
