Year 6 have been learning about electricity this half-term in science. This week, the children have been testing what materials are insulators or conductors of electricity.
"An insulator is any material which does not conduct electricity; it does not allow electricity to flow through it." - Divine, Almond
"A conductor is any material which conducts electricity, like metals, and also sea water!" - Katlyn, Oak
At the end of the lesson 100% of children learned about why wires have plastic on the outside: the plastic keeps us safe from being electrocuted since it does not conduct electricity.
