My kids are required to study a subject for a month and then report, at the begining of the folloing month, during Family Home Evening.
Aiden chose to study electricity this month. This is his first experiment:
Mom: Aiden, what have you learned so far about electricity?
Aiden: I don't know. Just kidding! It's really really really fun. We used what we had at home to conduct the hot dog experiment. We only had to buy hot dogs and aligator clips.
Mom: Would you like to add what you learned about electricity?
Aiden: Electricity cooked the hot dog because the salt caused the electricity to run through the hot dog. Salt is a conductor.
Mom: What else is a conductor?
Aiden: I have no idea. Just kidding again! Copper wire, tin foil, metal and water.
Mom: Any thing else?
Aiden: People, though that would hurt.
Mom: So what happens if you touch the hot dog while it is cooking?
Aiden: I haven't tried, buzzzzzz, woah.
We found this definition on the internet of what a conductor of electricity is:
The substances which have free electrons(which move freely ) act as conductor while those whose electrons held tightly (which can not move freely) are insulator.
