Electricity powers many of the devices we use every day, from lights to video games and computers. Engineers have to use certain materials to make electrical devices work. In this experiment, you will find out which materials let electricity flow through them (conductors) and which ones prevent electricity from flowing through them (insulators).
Objective
Test different materials to see if they are electrical conductors or insulators.
Recommended Project Supplies
This project uses a kit available for purchase from the Science Buddies Store.
