    This document discusses conductors and insulators in electricity. It contains three sections: 1) Defines electricity as the flow of electrons in a circuit and describes conductors as allowing electron flow and insulators as inhibiting it. 2) Has students do experiments connecting various items in a circuit to see which light a bulb, then categorizes the items as conductors or insulators. 3) Introduces measuring current in a circuit using an ammeter and has students collect data with the switch on and off at different points.

    The Conductors and Insulators

    Objectives:
    1. Use a simple model to describe electricity as a flow of electrons around a circuit.
    2. Describe electrical conductors as substances that allow electron flow and
    electrical insulators as substances that inhibit electron flow.
    3. Know how to measure the current in series circuits.
    Important questions:
    1. How does electricity travel from one place to another in circuits?
    2. Which objects can be used to complete a circuit?
    3. Why do some objects conduct electricity and others do not?
    4. How can we measure the electric current?
