FREE SCIENCE LESSON – “Current Electricity – Conductors and Insulators – What and Why”
by Elf Off the Shelf
5th – 9th Grade
This animated PowerPoint defines the terms conductor and insulator. It then takes students through designing a circuit to test a range of materials and a table in which to record their results. It includes a simple explanation of conductors and insulators in terms of low and high resistance. It also includes an interactive five question exit ticket quiz in which students answer A, B or C to each question by a show of hands or a card. This also provides instant feedback to the teacher on pupil progress.
