Experiments: Conductors and insulators

Which materials are good conductors and which are good insulators? This experiment uses polystyrene foam, metal, wood, glass and plastic to explore the properties of conductors and insulators. Step by step teaching notes and student worksheets help teachers and students get the most from the experiment and develop language learning skills. The activities culminate with students writing a conductors and insulators experiment report. Key vocabulary and practical teacher’s notes are included.
