导体与绝缘体

Description

Recognise some common conductors and insulators, and associate metals with being good conductors of electricity

Mastery Evidence
  • Define conductors (allow electricity to flow through) and insulators (block electricity)
  • Test at least six materials and correctly classify them as conductors or insulators
  • State that metals are generally good conductors and explain why wires are made of metal with plastic coating
Assessment Prompt

Can your child test objects in a circuit and explain why metal objects let electricity through but rubber and plastic don't?
