Tom the Atom, Book 10: A day at the museum: Henry and his friends discover electricity Henry and his classmates visit an exhibit at the Lawrence Hall of Science --in Berkeley, California-- on electricity. Children learn the concept of electricity, a current of metal's valence electrons.

Electricity is flux or flow that we call a current of "free" electrons.
