Science
Metals: properties of metals / flame tests / reactivity series. Experiment: how metals conduct electricity. Needed: 3 pieces of insulated copper wire (each 8 inches long), 6 volt lantern battery, 3.5 volt bulb and holder. Using one wire, twist one end around a battery terminal and the other around on of the bulb holder's terminals. With a second wire, twist one end around the remaining terminal of the bulb holder. Twist one end of the third wire around the remaining battery terminal. (Use tape to hold the wires in place.) Carry the device around your home touching the free wire end to different objects. If the bulb lights up, electricity is flowing. Metal conducts electricity. *NEVER* use an electrical outlet for this experiment. It is extremely dangerous!
