I have written this activity in three parts, mainly to reduce the amount of equipment required and also to give the students the opportunity to try out several different aspects of electricity. You can either have 2 tables for each part or run the activity at the same time as the magnetism activity so you only need one of each experiment (this is what I've done in the past).
This activity is connected to the Electricity and Magnetism unit. Part 1 is measuring the electrical conductivity of different materials. Part 2 is testing the conductivity of some different solutions. Part three explores static electricity (electricity that is trapped on an insulating surface - a balloon).
