Materials that let electricity pass through them are called conductors and materials that readily do not allow electricity to pass are called insulators. In this sheet, there are pictures of conductors and insulators, look at them closely and write 'C' for conductors and 'I' for insulators below the objects.
*Some common conductors are copper, aluminum, gold, silver, acids, water, and human body.*Some common insulators are glass, air, plastic, paper, rubber, and wood.
