Conductors and Insulators (Scenes from Science)
We did an experiment in order to see what is an insulator or a conductor. We found out that wood,and rubber are insulators. Then we found out that foil, and all metals are conductors. Why do you think power line men wear rubber gloves?

An Important Safety Note About Electricity
Dear third graders,
You are about to learn some very exciting things about electricity and do some amazingly fun experiments with batteries and light bulbs. Please remember to be safe with the equipment. Here are some important things to keep in mind:
1. Wires have sharp points. Don't hurt yourself or anyone else with them.
2. Wires can get hot. If they start to get warm, this means something is not connected correctly. Disconnect them from the battery before they get so hot that they burn you.
3. Light bulbs have glass. If they fall or get stepped on, they'll break. Broken glass is sharp. Ask an adult to help you clean it up if this happens.
4. Small batteries don't have enough power to hurt you. The electrical outlets in the walls of our classroom and your home will hurt you if you aren't safe. NEVER put anything metal, including a wire, near a wall socket.
If you act safely, you will definitely have fun.
Sincerely,
Orly
