This teaching resource is primarily aimed at teachers of Grade 5 to Grade 9. It delivers an insightful lesson on conductors and insulators with their respective functions, qualities, distinctions and practical scrutiny.

The package easily breaks down the complexity of current with its high or low resistance caused by electron-ion collisions. Conceptualized in a manner suitable for middle school learners.

• To understand that conductors facilitate electricity while non-metals oppose it.
• To recognize metals as conduits and non-metals as insulators.
• To successfully devise a test circuit along with a results table.
• To justify why certain materials behave as conductors.

The Package Includes:

1. A comprehensive collection of 13 original student resources complemented by two PowerPoint presentations that can be adjusted according to the student capabilities, time allocations, etc.
2. Inclusive kits targeting varied learning abilities—catering for those needing help to grasp essential concepts to those who wish to delve into deeper comprehension around electron-ion interactions.

You can choose group work or individual assignments during class hours or assign them as homework tasks. Additional worksheets are also provided which you give out either in classrooms or send home for revision purposes. For reinforce purpose we have anticipated guides (starter & plenary), foldable reference materials & taboo cards available too! Conclusively, this exceptional resource makes understanding electrical current and in-depth notions behind conductors and insulator much simpler! An exemplary tool for all educators making physics easier to comprehend.
