Conductor
Electricity can move through it!
Most metals are conductors. Electricity travels through them quickly!
Examples of Conductors:
📎 Paperclip 🪙 Penny 🥄 Metal Spoon 🗝️ Brass Key
TEAM STOP! 🛑
Insulator
Electricity CANNOT move through it!
Insulators block electricity. They keep us safe from getting shocked!
Examples of Insulators:
🧼 Rubber 🪵 Wood 🥤 Plastic 🪟 Glass
Safety Secret: Look at a Power Cord!
Inside = Metal Wire
It is a conductor to let power travel to the lamp.
Outside = Plastic Cover
It is an insulator so you can hold it safely!
