Conductors and Insulators

In Science we are discovering what items serve as conductors and as insulators.  We have tested items inside the classroom and took our discoveries outside.  Students discovered that items they thought were conductors didn't work because they were coated in an insulator.  We concluded that all conductors had one thing in common, they were all metal.  Glass, plastic, paper, wood, and cotton serve as insulators.
