columns (conductors and insulators)
She will divide the class in groups of four students
each.
Then she will give a flash card to every group and ask
them to put it in the correct column on the chart paper.

 (lights and fans)

Explanation: 10 min
After recalling their previous knowledge
about conductors and insulators tell them that:
 Humans are made up of lots and lots of water
and water is a conductor of electricity. So
humans are good conductors of electricity.
 Current can only flow through some
materials.
Stay safe:
Discuss measures to stay safe with electricity because
humans are conductors so they can get an electric
shock.
 Never touch a power point with wet hands.
 Don’t plug too many appliances into a power
point.
  Never poke around inside an electrical
alliance while it is switched on.

Written Task:
Q.2: What are insulators? Name some of them. 20 min
Ans. Some materials block electricity. They do not
allow it to flow through them. These materials are
known as insulators.
For example: rubber and plastic.
Q.3: Why is it important for humans to be careful with
electricity?
Ans. It is important for humans to be careful with
electricity because humans are good conductors of
electricity which means electricity can flow through
us and give us an electric shock.

Home work: 5 min

Draw two materials that do not conduct electricity in
notebook.
