On the 28th of January Primary 4 completed an experiment about conductors and insulators. We wanted to see if the light turned on or stayed off if we put a conductor or insulator in the circuit.
Some people brought in some conductors and insulators for example, Sophie brought in a leaf and a stick from the playground, Shakira brought in a teddy bear and Atika brought in a hair clip.

We drew a table in our jotters so we could write our predictions and the results of the experiment. When we had finished the experiment and knew the answers, we put the answers in our jotters and checked to see if we got them right.
We found out that an insulator is something that doesn’t let the light turn on but a conductor lets the light turn on. An example of a conductor is a metal object and an example of an insulator is paper or plastic.
We now understand what a conductor and insulator is.
