Conductors & Insulators

In IPC today we experimented to see what items are conductors and which are insulators.  First we discussed that conductors allow electricity to flow easily through them and insulators do not.  Then, the students tested both a nail and a coin to see if these objects were conductors and insulators.  Next, they chose two other objects to test and then could freely test other objects throughout the school.  Finally, we created a t-chart and listed items we found to be conductors and insulators,  In the end we drew the conclusion that most conductors are metal and most insulators are not.
