What are Conductors?
Conductors are materials that allow electric current to flow through them easily. This means that the electrons in a conductor can move freely, allowing electricity to pass through the material.
Examples of Conductors
- Metals such as copper, aluminum, silver, and gold are excellent conductors of electricity.
- Other materials like graphite (a form of carbon) and some types of water are also conductors of electricity.
How Conductors Work
Conductors have free electrons that are not tightly bound to their atoms. When a voltage is applied across a conductor, these free electrons move in response to the electric field, creating an electric current.
Study Guide
Here are some key points to remember about conductors:
- What are conductors and what do they allow?
- List some examples of conductors.
- Explain how conductors work in terms of their electron behavior.
Remember to practice identifying different materials as conductors or insulators, and try simple experiments to test the conductivity of various materials.

LIFE SCIENCE
From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes
Create representations to explain the unique and diverse life cycles of organisms other than humans (e.g., flowering plants, frogs, butterflies), including commonalities such as birth, growth, reproduction, and death.
Unity and Diversity
Construct an argument from evidence to explain the likelihood of an organism’s ability to survive when compared to the resources in a certain habitat (e.g., freshwater organisms survive well, less well, or not at all in saltwater; desert organisms survive well, less well, or not at all in woodlands).
Create models that illustrate how organisms and their habitats make up a system in which the parts depend on each other.
