This also includes directions to complete a lab in which students build simple circuits then test their objects for electrical conductivity. It is in powerpoint so it is completely editable.

The presentation also review solutes and solvents by using the hands-on activity that the students participated in. This product also includes notes for students to complete during the presentation and a modi
