Electricity and Circuit Concepts

This video tutorial, presented by Victoria Altenedo and Olivia Aguila, covers grade 8 physics focusing on electricity. It begins with an introduction to electricity, explaining atomic structure and the movement of electrons. The tutorial then delves into the components of a simple circuit, including the battery, conductor, and load. It explains electric current and voltage, their measurements, and the concept of resistance. The video concludes with reflection questions to encourage students to think critically about circuit behavior.
