This hands on, interactive, extremely fun lab allows students to determine what objects conduct electricity (conductors) & which ones do not (insulators). It also drives home the concept of how a circuit is made. The materials used are household objects and the lab requires students to think critically by using higher order thinking skills all while learning about electricity! This lab sheet includes photos for students to follow, especially helpful to ESE, ELL and visual learners.
If you like what you see and can use it with your students, PLEASE come back and leave me feedback. It would be very much appreciated! If you have suggestions or questions, please email me at stipko at bellsouth.com.
Thanks for looking, and have a great day!
