A conductor is a material that allows electricity to flow through it. An Insulator is a material that electricity cannot flow through. To determine whether an object is a conductor or insulator, you can build a simple circuit with a battery, light bulb, and three pieces of wire. Touch the free ends of the wire to the object you are testing. If the light bulb lights up, the object is made from a conductor. If it does not, the object is made from an insulator.

The objects that are conductors will allow the flow of electricity through them. The insulators will not allow the flow of current through them. All metals are good conductors of electricity. Here, the conductors are Penny, Nickel, Key, Paper clip and Brass paper fastener as these are made of metals. The insulators are Rubber band, Tooth pick and Glass microscope slide.
