    The document describes a simulation activity where students test various objects to determine if they are conductors or insulators. It includes a table where students record their results, such as finding that a paper clip and eraser are conductors that allow a bulb to light, while a fuse, coin, pencil, and hand are insulators that do not allow the bulb to light. The document asks students to predict other conductors and insulators around the house based on the materials. It also has students label diagrams of electrical circuits and predict what will happen when components are changed, such as a switch being pushed.

    Conductors and Insulators Lab Simulation

    Learning target: I can use the simulation to test which objects are conductors and
    insulators.

    1. Go to the link Circuit Construction Kit: DC (colorado.edu)


    2. Go to INTRO

    3. Use the down arrow on the toolbar on the left side of the simulation to find
    the objects to test. Create a circuit using 1 battery, wires, and 1 bulb, and 1
    object. Fill in the table below, the first one is done for you.

    Object Does bulb light? Yes or No Conductor or Insulator

    Paper Clip Yes Conductor

    Dollar bill YES CONDUCTOR

    Fuse NO INSULATOR

    Coin NO INSULATOR

    Eraser YES CONDUCTOR

    Pencil NO INSULATOR

    Hand NO INSULATOR

    Dog NO INSULATOR

    What type of material is most likely a conductor? Wood or Metal? Explain your
    thinking. Use the information from your table to help you answer the question.

    Most metals are considered to be good conductors of electrical current. Copper is


    just one of the more popular materials that is used for conductors. Other
    materials that are sometimes used as conductors are silver, gold, and aluminum

    Do you think a piece of paper would be a conductor or insulator? Explain your


    thinking. Insulator pure cellulose having outstanding electrical properties
    People who work with electricity wear protective gear like gloves. Do you think
    they should wear gloves made of metal or rubber? Explain your thinking.
    Wearing gloves with a good grip is important when you need excellent control
    over slippery metals. So its rubber

    Look around your house. Try to find 3 objects that would most likely be conductors
    and insulators. Fill in your response in the table below.

    Conductors around the house Insulators around the house

    Copper Wood

    Aluminum Plastic

    Gold Glass

    Predict and record results of changed components in an electrical


    circuit

    1.Label the diagram of a simple circuit

    lightbulb
    Battery

    wire
    2.Study the diagram below

    a)State which of the circuit is a closed circuit


    the second

    b) Explain what happen when switch is pushed downwards in second circuit.


    The light will be closed and will be no energy in the lightbulb

    3.Study the 2 circuit below.


    Find out the difference between circuit 1 and circuit 2

    The first circuit is a Conductors Materials that allow electricity to flow through them
    easily.

    The second circuit is a Insulators Materials that do not allow electricity to pass
    through them.
