    Conductors and Insulators

                      When it comes to electricity, materials can be divided into two types: conductors
                      and insulators. These help us understand how electricity moves and how we
                      can control it.

                      What are Conductors?

                      Conductors are materials that allow electricity
                      to  flow  through  them  easily.  This  means

                      electricity can travel through these materials
                      without any trouble.

                      Examples of Conductors

                          Metals  like copper, aluminium,  and  iron

                         are good conductors.

                          Real-Life Example: The wires inside your
                         phone charger are made of copper because

                         it lets electricity pass through and power
                         your phone.

                                                                What are Insulators?

                                                                Insulators  are  materials  that  do  not  allow

                                                                electricity to pass through them easily. They
                                                                help block the flow of electricity and keep it
                                                                contained.

                                                                Examples of Insulators

                                                                    Rubber,  plastic,  and  wood  are  good

                                                                   insulators.

                                                                    Real-Life Example: The rubber covering on
                                                                   electrical wires keeps you safe by preventing
                                                                   the electricity from escaping the wire and

                                                                   causing a shock.

                      Introduction to the Concept of Circuits: Open vs Closed

                      A circuit is the path that electricity follows to power things like lights, toys, or
                      fans. There are two types of circuits: open and closed.
