This activity is all about conductors.

 

Conductors are materials that let electricity pass through them easily.

 

Metals, such as copper and aluminium, are great conductors because they have special tiny particles called electrons that can move around freely.

When we connect wires made of these materials in a circuit, the electricity can travel through them without any problems.

That is why we use metals like copper in electrical wiring around our homes and schools.
