What are insulators and conductors?
In this lesson, we will learn what an electrical conductor and an electrical insulator are. We will conduct an investigation to see which materials are insulators and which are conductors. Finally, we will draw conclusions about the best material to make certain objects from, based on what we have learnt. You will need a piece of paper, a pencil and a ruler.
