Structured for grades 3 to 6, this lab walks your student through building a simple series circuit with a 1.5V AA battery, a small light bulb in a holder, and two alligator clip wires. Each test material gets clipped into the circuit one at a time, and the bulb either lights up or it does not, producing a clear yes or no result recorded in the eight-row chart alongside predictions and notes. The conclusion section asks which materials conducted and which did not, pushing your student to synthesize observations rather than just report them.

Testing which materials conduct electricity works well as a standalone electricity introduction or as an early session in a broader unit study on circuits and energy. Completing the sheet demonstrates that your student can form a hypothesis, design a fair test, and distinguish conductors from insulators using observable evidence. The safety tip printed at the bottom reminds students to use only a battery and never a wall outlet, making it a low-risk hands-on lesson you can run at the kitchen table.
