MATERIALS
•Light bulbs
•Wires
•Batteries
•15 objects
•Camera to take pictures
Menu
PROCEDURES
1. Create a closed circuit using the light bulb, batteries, and wires to
make sure all of the materials work.
2. Take one of the objects and put it in the circuit to see if it is a
conductor or insulator. If the light bulb lights up, it is a conductor. If
the light bulb doesn't light up, it is an insulator.
3. Write the name of each object in the chart and put an x in the
conductor or insulator columns.
4. Do this procedure for all 15 objects.

EXPLANATION
Some materials are conductors because metal conducts electricity.
Some materials are insulators because electrons can’t pass.
