Introduction

As we continue to learn about the importance of electricity, circuits, and resistance, pay close attention to the next two videos. You will complete several labs based on the principles you learn below. 

Resistors

Watch the following video to learn about resistors. While watching, consider the following questions:

   Consider  
 
  1. What does a resistor do?
  2. Why would you use a resistor?
  3. How does a resistor work?
  4. What are ohms, and how are resistors labeled to indicate ohms?
 

 

 

Circuits

Watch the following video to learn about circuits. While watching, consider the following questions:

   Consider  
 
  1. What is a circuit?
  2. What is required for electricity to flow through a circuit?
  3. What is the purpose of an insulator?
