Aim: How can we identify conductors and insulators within an electrical circuit?

Directions: Watch the video “Electrical Conductivity” and then answer the reflection questions in complete sentences.

Video Reflection:

a.) How do you know if a material conducts electricity?

b.) How do you know if a material does not conduct electricity?

c.) What objects can be used to complete a circuit and allow the bulb to light?

d.) What material do all conductors have in common?

e.) What types of objects are conductors and what types of objects are insulators?
