    This document provides instructions for a grade 6 science experiment to test the conductivity of various materials. Students are asked to: 1) Hypothesize which materials will be conductors or insulators of electricity. 2) Build a simple circuit using two wires and connect materials one by one to see if a bulb lights up, recording their observations. 3) Draw conclusions about which materials conducted electricity based on whether the bulb lit up, and identify them as conductors, their composition, and insulators.

    Practical Task / Investigation
    Conductivity of materials
    You are helping your dad to clean up his study. While you are busy with this
    task, you are wondering which of the materials laying around can conduct
    electricity. You want to test different materials to see whether it is
    conductors or insulators of electricity.

    1. Write down your hypothesis.

    • If your bulb lights up in the circuit, how can you prevent your battery
    from running down? What is missing in the circuit? Show your answer
    by drawing the circuit.
