Abstract
This study sought to strengthen the instructional delivery of Ohm’s Law in Grade 8 Science by undertaking a needs-based development of an Interactive Scenario-Based Simulation (ISBS) Activity. The initial phase involved systematic needs assessment among in-service Grade 8 Science teachers to determine their prevailing experiences, challenges, and instructional requirements when teaching the relationship among voltage, current, and resistance. Findings indicated persistent learner difficulties in conceptualizing electrical interactions, an overreliance on formula manipulation, and reduced engagement arising from predominantly lecture-centered instruction. Teachers further reported limited access to laboratory resources and a lack of interactive, inquiry-oriented materials capable of visualizing abstract circuit behavior.
