GUIDE QUESTIONS:
1. What does the water inside the bottle represent? the water that comes out from the straw? the different
straws?

2. Will water flow more easily through a wide pipe or a narrow pipe? Will current flow more easily through a
thick wire or a thin wire?

3. Does heating a metal wire increase or decrease its electrical resistance? How?

4. What is the relationship of resistance, current and voltage?

GENERALIZATION:

APPLICATION:
Did you experience resistance from your friends and or family about achieving your certain goals or dreams?
How do you feel about it? How did you deal with it?
