⚡ Conductor or Insulator?

Sort materials by whether electricity can flow through them easily (conductors) or not (insulators).

How to play

Metals are conductors: electricity flows through them easily. Most non-metals, such as plastic, rubber, wood and glass, are insulators. Graphite (pencil lead) and salty water are non-metal conductors. Tap or drag each material into a box.

⌨️ Keyboard: press the number on a box to sort the card into it.

What it teaches

Year 6 Science explores electrical circuits and how energy flows through conductors. Knowing insulators explains everyday safety, such as plastic coating on cables and rubber soles on electricians' boots.
