Resistance and Resistivity - Part 1: Conductors vs. Insulators

---

In this lesson you will be investigating which materials make good conductors, and which don't. (Often poor conductors are good insulators.) While you may already have some knowledge of how to sort your materials before you begin, you will need to actually measure the currents they produce with a multimeter. Pay close attention to the directions your teacher gives you on how to use the multimeter. If you use it improperly, it will break.
