V.

1. Semiconductors’ resistivity is closer to the highest resistivity which is Insulators’ resistivity while the
conductors has the lowest resistivity among the three.

2. The good conductors of electricity have less resistivity and if a material has a high resistivity it can be
considered as an insulators.

3. Conductors are belong to metal group while the semiconductors are in the semi-metal group.

4. It is their valence electrons, if they have valence electrons it means that they can bond and react to
other atoms to form a chemical bond.

VI. Generalization

- Conductors are materials that allows electrons to flow and transfer freely from its source
because it has low resistivity like copper and aluminum. While the insulators are the opposite of
conductors, it serves to resist and protect the electricity due to its high resistance. Lastly the
semiconductors, it is conducted between the conductors and insulators, it helps to control and limit the
electrical transfer to avoid overflowing.

VII. Enrichment Activity

Conductors:

1. Aluminum

-It is a conductor of electricity. It is enclosed in steels for protection in high voltage transmission
lines. Some of wrapping materials and packaging are made from aluminum are cans, coils and
foils.

2. Copper
-Copper is the number one good conductor of electricity. It is used in motors and wiring
(electrical industry), industrial machinery (heat exchange), plumbing and roofing (construction).
3. Gold

-Gold is one of the expensive material. It is commonly used in jewelries like earrings and
necklace, medals and awards, and special coins.
Semiconductors:

1. Germanium
- The semiconductor industry is the greatest user of germanium. Germanium is used to build
transistors for electronic equipment when it is mixed with small amounts of phosphorus.
Germanium is also used to make alloys and as a fluorescent lamp phosphor.

2. Selenium

- Selenium pigments are used in ceramics, paint, and polymers.Most useful in solar cells,
photocells and photocopiers.

3. Silicon

-Among these three semi conductors, silicon is the most useful on our daily lives. Silicon is most
used to make alloys such as aluminium-silicon and iron silicon. As a semiconductor, this element is used
for making transistors.

Insulators:

1. Ceramics
- They are used to make plates, pottery, tiles, bricks, glass, and cements. The other type of
ceramic which is bio-ceramics are used synthetic bones implants and dental industry like
ceramic braces

2. Glass

-It is used in tablewares ( plate, drinking glass and bowls), packaging (jars, bottles, cosmetic
containers), and for housing and buildings (windows and facades)

3. Silicon

- Common uses are in packaging film, trash and grocery bags, squeeze bottles, wire and cable,
housewares and toys.

VI. Generalization

-Hacksaw- hacksaw is a small-toothed, hand-powered saw that is used to cut rods, metal pipes,
brackets, etc. Plastic can also be cut with a hacksaw. The hacksaw features a handle on one
end and a U-shaped frame on the other.
-Screwdriver- Screwdriver is a hand-operated tool used to turn screws with slotted heads. It has
3 common types which are phillips screwdriver, slotted screwdriver and jeweler’s screwdriver
set.
Magnifying glass- a magnifying lens that is usually mounted in a frame with a handle and used
to inspect small or finely detailed objects such as small and tiny wirings.
