A good item to start with is the penny. Unclamp your lights from the <br /> positive (+) terminal. Clamp onto the penny, then touch the penny to the <br /> positive (+) terminal of the battery. Do the Christmas lights light up? If so, the <br /> penny is a conductor! A conductor allows electrons to flow through it to complete <br /> the circuit. If not, it is an insulator. Insulators do not let electrons flow freely. <br /> y <br /> 4) Test each of your other items. As you test them, sort them into two piles: a <br /> conductor pile and an insulator pile. <br /> 5) When you're done experimenting on the items individually, see if you can <br /> make a complete working circuit with two or more (or try three or more!) of the <br /> items <br /> f <br /> 6) What things make good electrical conductors? What are bad conductors of <br /> electricity? You should start to notice a pattern as you conduct your experiment. <br /> 11 of 12 <br />
